Florida’s 2025 season is on our doorstep, with players reporting Tuesday and the Gators’ fall training camp practices set to begin this week.
Expectations for the Gators are as high as they have been under Billy Napier, who enters his fourth season as Florida’s head coach in 2025, following UF’s four-game winning streak to conclude the 2024 campaign – including ranked triumphs over No. 22 LSU and No. 9 Ole Miss – and the program’s first bowl game victory since 2019, over Tulane in the Gasparilla Bowl.
While Napier maintains a .500, 19-19 record in his position with Florida, UF athletic director Scott Stricklin gave the head coach votes of confidence ahead of the 2024 season and again last November, and the Gators’ late-season run of success appears to have validated that decision internally.
“I think that decision reflected the whole organization and our body of work since we’ve been there, and their assessment of that group of people and the direction of that group of people. I think that’s the important part,” Napier said of his retention during the SEC’s spring meetings in May.
“I think on the inside, we’ve done a lot of really good things. I think we’re currently as healthy as we’ve been culturally, and I think we’ve got a lot of good young talent. I think that contributes to the buy-in, in terms of the vision of the program. So I think it’s not necessarily a reflection of me, as much as maybe a reflection of the entire group of people.”
Following the offseason roster shuffle and the implementation of the House vs. NCAA settlement, the latter of which has impacted roster sizes across the college football landscape, Florida’s roster stands at 117 players, Swamp247 learned this month, including 84 on scholarship to pair with 33 walk-ons.
Below, Swamp247 has rounded up its pre-fall training camp projected depth charts for Florida’s offense from our positional preview series. These projections are subject to change following fall camp and before UF’s season begins on Aug. 30. We will produce a final depth chart projection in that timeframe.
