B+. . . . RICKY PEARSALL

The Arizona St transfer has been great for the Florida offense. Pearsall came in highly touted and has lived up to expectations.

Through the first four games, he has 12 catches for 223 yards, as well as a touchdown in the Tennessee game.

Pearsall has been a reliable 3rd-down target for Richardson and seems to always find the open space in the defense. The only reason he isn’t in the A- to A range is that he only has one score, which isn’t entirely his fault given UF’s run-first mentality.

Pearsall should continue to be one of AR’s top targets in the passing game and should continue to produce at a high level.
