FRIDAY PRACTICE by Matt Wheeler
After holding conditioning workouts with Nick Savage and staff over the last two weeks, Florida held their first bowl practice this afternoon.
To be clear, the person giving me this information isn’t out there taking attendance, but according to them, none of those players who have entered the transfer portal (Mincey, Bogle, Diabate, Copeland) were at practice.
Then of course, Anthony Richardson wasn’t out there.
Without Richardson, it was Carlos Del Rio who took snaps after Emory Jones.
Perhaps the best news for Florida defensively is that Kaiir Elam was out there, so he will apparently play in the bowl game.
They practiced in helmets and shorts and did some positional drills, and some 7 on 7 as well as full team work.
Billy Napier and a few from his staff were there watching for a little while, and then left.
I was told it was a pretty light mood, mostly because it was a short practice their first day back after it. They’ll practice again tomorrow, and it will be a longer one, and likely more intense.
