Fever,
Ran across this info on Waites - he was recruited as an OT where his height makes more sense.
But 378 is still too heavy for him to stay in front of DEs with SEC speed.
"... The offensive line remains relatively untouched because of
Richard Gouraige's decision to return for the bowl game but will noticeably be without guard
Richie Leonard IV, who was slated to align as Torrence's replacement to finish the year and moving into the next.
Leonard has seen time in the rotation this year, playing well in the reserve role, and helped the Gators to 210 yards on the ground against LSU in his lone start in replacement of Torrence.
The bowl contest was his next opportunity to showcase his talent. However, he's ruled out with a lower-body injury.
Instead, 6-foot-8, 373-pound offensive lineman
Kamryn Waites will make his highly-anticipated Florida debut at the right guard spot looking to propel a talented Gators rushing attack of
Montrell Johnson and
Trevor Etienne to a successful day.
Since coming over from Louisiana-Lafayette with the staff last offseason, Waites has sat as an offensive lineman in waiting for an opportunity to arise. Despite initially being considered a tackle due to his size, Waites will move to the inside out of need, proving to be a versatile piece for the Florida squad.
Moving into next season, a positive performance for Waites could give him a legitimate role as a swing offensive lineman in case of injury."
