The majority of Florida football’s incoming freshman class will get a chance to show its potential this spring.
In all, 19 of the 25 freshmen that signed with the Florida Gators during the early period in December have enrolled this semester. They will be eligible to take part in spring drills in March and take part in UF’s spring game, scheduled for April 12 at The Swamp at 1 p.m.
