@TomLuginbill Which prospect from the Florida Gators do you think will make an impact next season as a freshman in college #askloogs

In order to answer this question, we are going to assume everyone currently committed will be signing with the Gators come February. With that being said, wide receiver Ermon Lane (Homestead, Fla./Homestead) is the biggest need position they have right now. He is mentally and physically capable of playing right away and developing throughout the season into a go-to guy. Obviously dual-threat quarterback Will Grier (Davidson, N.C./Davidson Day School) will have every opportunity to contribute and compete for the starting job, but it will be an awfully steep learning curve and he will have to battle and beat out Jeff Driskel. The Gators would love for offensive tackle David Sharpe (Jacksonville, Fla./Providence) to be ready, but for all his athleticism, he is also raw and would need to start out on the right side. Hopefully Florida will be past their injuries up front next season and not have a need for Sharpe just yet. Don’t count out the likes of wide receiver Ryan Sousa (Orlando, Fla./Lake Nona) and wide receiver Moral Stephens (Perry, Fla./Taylor County) as options for them, too.
