GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) – There’s a good chance Trey Burton will lead Florida in touches this season. He almost certainly will lead the Gators in positions played.
Florida has expanded Burton’s role heading into the fall, lining him up at running back, fullback, receiver and tight end. It’s an effort to confuse defenses, create mismatches and improve an offense that ranked 82nd in the nation in 2010.
First-year coach Will Muschamp says Burton’s role is “limitless.”
Burton was a big part of Florida’s scheme as a freshman. He ranked third on the team with 349 yards rushing, second with 32 receptions for 210 yards and scored a team-high 12 touchdowns. Most of his production came while lining up at H-back and quarterback in single-wing formations. He completed 4 of 6 passes for 83 yards.
