Gators assistants recap team's second spring scrimmage

GAINESVILLE -- Florida scrimmaged for the second time this spring Friday, and according to several Gators assistants, players on both sides of the ball turned heads. 

Junior-college tailback Mark Thompson, competing with Miami natives Jordan Cronkrite and Jordan Scarlett for the carries, scored a “60 to 70 yard touchdown,” according to tight ends coach Greg Nord. 

“We had a few explosive plays that we’ve been looking for out of the offense,” he said. 

“That was good to see.” 

Nord also highlighted big plays by senior wideout Ahmad Fulwood and junior tight end DeAndre Goolsby. 

“Fulwood had a nice catch-and-run,” Nord said. 

“We had Mark [Thompson] get out and get the big run. Goolsby had a nice long catch. There were several other, which is good.”

Defensively, Florida’s secondary forced multiple turnovers Friday, not including a negated pick-six by nickelback Duke Dawson. 

“We got our hands on the ball, and we did some positive things,” UF secondary coach Torrian Gray said.

“But there were also some long plays that we got to clean up.”

Gray noted that early enrollee Chauncey Gardner, who recently moved to safety, had an interception, as did senior safety Marcus Maye. 

“Overall, we’re going to like what we’re going to put on film with the understanding that we’ve got a lot of work to still do,” Gray said.
