UF needs some help in the secondary, and there is a chance Marquand Manuel and Bennie Alexander could provide it. All-American from Miami Senior, will start out at free safety and compete for the backup job behind starter Teako Brown. Alexander, an all-state performer from Union County, is a top cornerback prospect who could bring added speed to the secondary. Another freshman likely to see early playing time is defensive tackle Gerard Warren, the All-American from Union County. The other defensive lineman in the class, Thomas Moody, probably will be redshirted along with UF's four freshmen offensive linemen - Ben Brown, Tommy Hillard, Erik Strange and Kenyatta Walker.
All practices are open to the public.
