After handling business last week in the home opener, Florida welcomes Tennessee to Gainesville. In anticipation of the game, Florida released their week three depth chart which is headlined by starting center Kingsley Eguakun making his debut after missing the first two weeks.
The Gators' injury report shows notable improvement, with only three names listed this week. Freshman tight end Tony Livingston and redshirt junior safety Ja'Markis Weston are sidelined due to upper-body injuries, while sophomore WR Thai Chiaokhiao-Bowman's availability remains uncertain due to a lower-body injury. Heading into the third game of the season, Florida still maintains 16 "OR" designations on the depth chart.
The return of Eguakun will not only improve the pass protection and run game but will also take the pressure off of other parts of the offense that had to over-compensate when he was not in the lineup. Expect the offensive line to look a lot better than week one against Utah.
The rapid rise of redshirt freshman Jamari Lyons jumps out from the published depth chart. Jamari was kind of overshadowed by his classmate last season as Chris McClellan quickly emerged. What an excellent pair of young Gators they are in the mix of our interior defensive line.
