. . JUSTIN SHORTER. B+.

Shorter, the veteran in the Gators’ WR room, has quietly had a great start to the year. He’s got 13 catches for 239 yards, which leads the team.

For some reason, there aren’t many people who are talking about the elite game he had in Knoxville. Shorter had 7 catches for 155 yards, including a great 50/50 catch on a 4th and short in the second half.

While there have been questions around Shorter’s hands in the past, he seems to be much improved this season and is a very reliable option for Richardson on the field.

We hope to see Shorter find the endzone soon and really start to leave his mark.
