Billy Napier’s methodical, multifaceted approach to returning Florida to national prominence might actually be on a fast track.
Napier’s recruiting prowess has been on display the last two months, culminating with the Gators’ 2023 class breaking into the top 10 in national rankings by Rivals and 247 Sports. The latest bump coincided with Florida opening an $85 million facility that was years in the making and should help get the program back on level footing with the Southeastern Conference heavyweights.The key now is preventing it from becoming one step forward, two steps back once the season begins.
A former assistant under Nick Saban at Alabama and the head coach at Louisiana-Lafayette the last four years, Napier is tasked with the latest rebuild. The Gators are confident he’ll do better than predecessors Will Muschamp, Jim McElwain and Dan Mullen. Napier’s state-of-the-art facility should help. Not only will it provide a much-needed recruiting tool, it should streamline the program’s day-to-day operations and improve time management.
Dynamic quarterback Anthony Richardson seemingly has untapped potential — one website projects him as a top-10 NFL draft pick in 2023 — but he also has one career start and finished last season with six touchdown passes and five interceptions while playing behind Emory Jones.
