Jon Sumrall did an incredible job of retaining and rebuilding the Florida Gators' depth ahead of his first season as the program's head coach.
That much showed during Florida's spring game as Aaron Philo and Tramell Jones battled for the QB1 position, younger players made their presence known, and the defenses came up with a few critical stops.
However, one position stood out among the rest: the wide receivers, looking seemingly unstoppable at any point in the depth chart and the starters looking as good as (if not better than) anyone else in the country.
Wilson, Singleton, Brown might just be the 3 best players at Florida
Everyone got to see glimpses of Dallas Wilson's star potential as he slowly but surely returned from injury last season, playing in just four games but earning a resounding 174 yards and three touchdowns on a mere 12 receptions.
"We've got to keep people off balance, but that receiver room gives us a chance to be explosive, and Dallas' return is a big part of that," Sumrall said after the spring game.
Eric Singleton Jr. joined the Gators after spending two years at Georgia Tech and one at Auburn, and is undoubtedly expected to be a starting wideout in Sumrall's depth chart.
Vernell Brown III decided to stay at Florida after the program fired Billy Napier and brought Sumrall on as the new head coach, and he is exactly what the Gators need to round out their starting receiving corps, having earned 512 yards on 40 catches last season.
"At the top of the depth chart, their starters, man, it's as good as it gets," On3 Sports' Florida beat writer Zach Abolverdi said about the Gators' wideouts.
Not to mention the fact that young stars like Micah Mays Jr. had an incredible showing in the Gators' spring game, earning 122 yards and two touchdowns on just four receptions.
To put it lightly, Florida could boast one of the best groups of wideouts in the nation, better even than other elite programs that have grown comfortable claiming WRU, like Ohio State and Texas.
