Kamryn Waites: D (116 snaps)

If anyone was to receive an F on this list, Kamryn Waites would be a prime candidate after his performance against Miami. If we are being honest, he wasn't great against Samford either.

But the past two games, he has been slid to right guard and has held up better, with zero pressures since moving to guard. His run blocking has been adequate, so for now, we will spare him from an F.

DJ Lagway: B (124 Snaps)

We have said our peace and believe DJ Lagway should be the starter for Florida moving forward. One has to ask oneself if there is anything Mertz can do that Lagway can't do.

Against Mississippi State, Lagway led two long drives that started inside the ten-yard line, and it didn't look like anything could rattle him.

Montrell Johnson: C (136 Snaps)

Montrell Johnson was one of the major backdrops heading into the Miami game, and his 71-yard run was one of the few highlights for the Gators in that game. Currently Johnson is sporting a 4.8 yards per carry.

The problem is that if you take away that 71-yard run, and I'm aware you can't actually do that, Johnson has averaged 3.42 yards per carry on his other 47 carries. The problem for Johnson from a perception issue is that fans are noticing how angry the hole guys like Treyaun Webb or Jadan Baugh are running and want to see Johnson run with a similar energy.
