So I might as well get in the first swing.... 
"Heck, I could use Clarabell to play QB." -- Mc-joking upon his arrival at UF.
What is the overall health of the QB position going into 2017 Spring practice?
"That's something we've got to do. We've got to make sure it happens sooner than later," McElwain recently said, of stabilizing the position. "That's my responsibility, and it will get done." (I sure hope so - iG)
Franks - Tall - Very Good HS QB Rating - Strong Arm - Average Accuracy - Tall (6-6 220 4.75/40)
4 Yrs - 56.9%, 87 TD's, 17 Ints. -- 2016 Spring game - 1 TD, 3 Ints.
Those who favor Feleipe' as the 2017 starter can give us the more 'in-depth' on him. I'd be interested to read what they think are his best characteristics, as UF's possible 2017 starter.
Trask - Strong Arm - Great Accuracy - Good Decisions - Physically imposing (6-4 230 4.6/40)
Mechanics - Footwork - Pocket Presents - Fakes and Look-offs - Makes ALL of the Throws.
He has never thrown a single interception, either in HS (17 TD's, 0 Int) or in UF's 2016 Spring game.
Not being his HS's starting QB is mostly irrelevant at this point, imoho.
What he actually does whenever he's on the field is what counts in my book.
HS Career - 110 of 161, 73.3%, 1,820 yds, 16.5 yds/comp, 17 TD's, 0 Ints.
And while he's NOT a 'running' QB, he's bigger and faster than Tebow, and he'll pull it down and take off when that's necessary. He's also very strong and mobile when the pocket collapses, but he's always still looking to throw it. Sr/HS Rushing - 18 for 49 yds, 4.5 ypc, 1 TD, L-20 yds.
"Kyle is a guy that when you tell him it one time, he gets it right now," Nussmeier said. "He can process information very, very well, his accuracy is unbelievable and he's just done a really, really good job for a guy that doesn't have a ton of snaps. When you put him in situations, he reacts very, very well." (he comes in as a 4.0 student & an Eagle Scout)
This young man is not my nephew and I've never even met him. I'm going strictly on what I see with my own eyes when I watch his HS film, and what I saw live in the 2016 Spring game. I'll freely admit that I like him as a Gator QB. Most QB's have to wind up and step into the kinds of throws that Kyle can make off his back foot with a flick of his wrist. http://www.maxpreps.com/athlete/kyle-trask/nDygK_TtEeKZ5AAmVebBJg/default.htm
Still, I'm all for giving all of the available QB's a 'fair/even' shot at winning the starting job. As a long time Gator fan, I'm always for whomever can best get the job done at QB.
Ath/QB Toney - 6-0 185 - He will get a 'look' but is not likely to play QB at UF, unless it's some at 'wildcat.' I look for him to be a star player as a Gator, and to likely go on to the NFL, just not as a QB. He's an EE -- But if he can legitimately beat out both Franks and Trask, then we'll have one hellova QB in 2017! But guess what else? IF HE CAN, then I'm on board and I'd be ALL IN for Toney.

Good size 6-3 210 - We'll all see what is, in Fall practice.
IMO, he's very likely to get a redshirt for 2017, but you never know...
