Heisman hopeful at the helm
All eyes are going to be on Anthony Richardson every time the Gators are on the field. The QB phenom made lots of noise in limited action last year, and is looking to showcase everything he can do as the leader of the team.
Last year, as the backup QB, he threw for 529 yards and 6 touchdowns. On the ground, he ran for 401 yards and 3 touchdowns.

Richardson may be the most electric players in college football. 6’4”-232, not many guys can run and move the way that he can with the size he has.
