Isn’t Hadden the one that missed 2 tackles on Florida’s first TD last year? And by “missed 2 tackles” I mean didn’t try to tackle and instead failed twice trying to strip the ball for some reason?

He better clean that **** up.

Honestly liked having Hadden out there. Played hard has the athleticism, and now with another offseason to prepare I think he could be one of our best defensive backs this season.
Good to hear that he has been working hard to improve. Many a young man has grown up to a significant degree between their first couple of years and their last year or two.

Who's next in line if Dee goes down? He's so good at returning punts I almost want to keep him off the DB depth chart.

KR 1.
KR 2.
I think Dylan Sampson got some work late last year. Didn't our other two guys transfer out?
This one TBD? Anyone got any ideas who we'll have returning kickoffs?

He had two walk on punters starting over Jackson Ross. That’s either a really bad sign or he has no clue. I also thought it was funny that that he had long snappers on the depth for the offensive line. We had also been told Addison Nichols was taking the backup reps at center but he has Ollie Lane as the backup.

I agree, he had some rough spots last season with his maturity being questionable but what 18 yr kid doesn’t make mistakes so I expect big things out of him this year. By all accounts he’s put in the work this offseason grind, and having another year in the system he’s due for a break out year.
Maybe if he was 18 I’d understand but he’s a 22 year old senior. On a team that, for the most part, put their head down and just played, his immaturity stuck out significantly. He made us look silly a lot.

I would imagine Squirrel would get some work back there if anything were to happen to Dee.

He was a freshmen last year. So he was 21? So he graduated high school at 20 years old?? Either way I expect him to have a good season. If he had transferred last season I would have a different opinion, but the fact that he stayed even when fans like yourself lit him up on social media. That shows a lot of character and a will to be better and to get better. From all accounts he’s been one of the hardest working players this off-season.

Dylan Sampson as the 4th RB behind Cam Seldon. Hmm 🤔. Man, would hate to lose him to the portal.
No, no no. Heupel actually knows the special abilities of each of his skill guys, and will see to it that each gets ample opportunities to showcase his talents.

Steele, on the other hand, is just throwing something against the wall.

Agree. Awful take by Steele. Sampson is special and it shows. No way he doesn't get some serious touches this season.

It takes only a small amount of research to get your facts straight. Why would I just make up his age? He transferred from auburn after 2 seasons. Do some research bro. But no player should act the way he did after how bad he was, let alone a player that old. Come on man.

My mistake I thought he was younger. Still Josh huepel has him on the field for a reason or he wouldn’t be. I trust his judgement over yours.

I get that from last season, because of the lack of depth we had. All I said was that he was immature and I don’t think anyone can argue that his jawing, after being pretty bad last year, was ridiculous. I want him to be good so bad, but if it’s a re-run of last season, then I pray someone steps up and takes his spot.
