Keon Zipperer - Not on opening depth chart Zipperer does not appear on the depth chart for Saturday's opener versus Miami.
Impact The Gators listed six tight ends on the opening depth chart and Zipperer was not one of them. That likely means he is not quite healthy enough to return after tearing his ACL just over 13 months ago. While there's no official confirmation on his status, it's unlikely he suits up in Week 1.

DJ Lagway - Beginning year as backup Lagway will be the second string to quarterback Graham Mertz for Florida's season opener against Miami, Graham Hall of 247sports.com reports.
Impact The true freshman looks to be making some damage with the Gators as he has beat out Colorado State transfer Clay Millen for the backup quarterback position. Lagway will need to be ready for anything playing behind senior play caller Mertz, as Mertz was dealing with a collarbone injury during the spring.

Elijhah Badger - Named Week 1 starter Badger is starting Saturday's opener versus Miami, the program announced.
Impact Badger, an Arizona State transfer, has impressed his new coaching staff enough to be named an opening day starter alongside Eugene Wilson and Chimere Dike. Badger caught 65 passes for 713 yards and three touchdowns last season, adding 51 yards and a touchdown on the ground.

Chimere Dike - Starting season opener Dike will start at wide receiver in Saturday's season opener against Miami, Graham Hall of 247sports.com reports.
Impact Dike will get the start in his first year as a Gator after recording the past four seasons with Wisconsin. The senior wide receiver finished out the 2023 campaign with 19 receptions for 328 yards and one touchdown across 11 games.

Montrell Johnson Jr. - No limitations Saturday Head coach Billy Napier Johnson said Johnson (knee) will be ready to go Saturday against Miami with no limitations, Kevin Brockway of The Gainesville Sun reports.
Impact Johnson looks to be at the end of his recovery journey after undergoing a knee surgery this summer. The senior running back is poised to lead the Gators' backfield for the third-straight year, and "no limitations" means he will do just that against Miami. The 5-foot-11 ball carrier rushed for 817 yards and five touchdowns in 2023, while adding on 30 receptions for 236 yards and a touchdown.
