The Gator football team continues practices toward their season opener against New Mexico State in September and UF head coach Jim McElwain says the Gators do not yet have a starter at quarterback.
That said, McElwain says he is pleased with the work of Treon Harris and Will Grier at the position. He also said after yesterday’s practice that he wants to start getting the top eight or so offensive linemen they want to play ready to go and some will be cross trained at multiple positions.
