GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) Florida has named sophomore Treon Harris its starting quarterback for the Gators’ opener Saturday against New Mexico State.
Coach Jim McElwain made the announcement following practice Wednesday, saying ”I wouldn’t read that much into. It’s a painting in progress.”
Harris and redshirt freshman Will Grier have been vying for the starting job since spring practice began in March. Both are expected to play Saturday.
Harris started the final six games last season, completing 49.5 percent of his passes for 1,019 yards, with nine touchdowns and four interceptions. He also ran for 338 yards and three scores after replacing ineffective starter Jeff Driskel.
Grier, one of the top high school prospects in 2013, missed all of last season after injuring his lower back lifting weights.
