Justin Shorter

After transferring from Penn State to Florida in 2020 (which is starting to become a theme), Shorter had his most productive college season in 2021.

Shorter caught 41 passes for 550 yards and three touchdowns.

Listed at 6-4, 223 pounds, Shorter is a big bodied receiver that hasn’t quite lived up to his billing from high school when he was the top ranked receiver in the high school class of 2018.

Shorter has shown flashes of what he is capable of, just not with enough consistency.

For Florida to go far this season, Shorter has to take the role of WR1 by the reigns.
