By: Nick Marcinko -- July 25, 2024 We are less than a week away from the start of fall camp, which means Gator Country continues breaking down Florida’s 2024 roster. The Gators return both of their “starting” tight ends from 2023 in Arlis Boardingham and Hayden Hansen, who combined for 915 snaps a season ago. Florida used 12-personnel (two-tight end set) on 30% of their offensive snaps last year, making the tight end position extremely valuable in Billy Napier’s scheme.

I think we will get a lot of production out of the TE room this year. If Haden has been working on his route running, with his size he could be dominate.
So, now that we have a brutally talented running back's room, when are we going to run the 22 personnel? That... is a serious power formation that we can try with a receiver like Wilson or substitute him for the 6th O-lineman. A 22 personnel, with a 6th O-lineman, would be the best power-formation we could run inside the 5-yard line.
Did not think we threw to TEs enough to justify the two TE sets. Would have rather seen an extra OL on field l, given our lack of talent at the TE position
I think we like to pretend that one of them is a good blocker on those 12 personnel sets... maybe we should just use 6 O-linemen instead?
