Gators Release Depth Chart for Missouri
Tuesday, October 31, 2017 | Football
Coach Randy Shannon has not announced who will start at quarterback on Saturday for the Gators.
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Florida's depth chart remains very similar heading into Saturday's road game at Missouri.
However, quarterback is the one question as we move through this week.
Interim head coach Randy Shannon announced on Monday that he is reopening the quarterback battle between redshirt freshman Feleipe Franks and fifth-year senior Malik Zaire. Franks has started six of seven games this season, while Zaire appeared in relief of Franks against Michigan and Georgia.
In addition, Shannon announced that rookie running back Malik Davis would miss the remainder of the season with a knee injury. With that, Florida will rely on sophomore Lamical Perine and redshirt senior Mark Thompson to carry the load.
Florida's receiving core is hoping to get sophomore Josh Hammond back from injury, while on the offensive line Fred Johnson and Tyler Jordan are battling for the starting job at right guard.
UF's defense remains unchanged from a week ago.
However, look for veteran Cristian Garcia to see more time at linebacker.
Here is a look at Florida's depth chart:
