With the calendar turning to January, school is starting and that means several early enrollees will be starting college now with an eye toward spring practices in a few months.
Jim McElwain officially welcomed his early enrollees:
Gator Nation: Let's give a #Gator welcome to our midyear enrollees who officially move on campus today! Welcome home, gentlemen. #GoGators

Those early enrolles are McArthur Burnett, Feleipe Franks, Stone Forsythe, Chauncey Gardner II, Josh Hammond, Dre Massey, Eddy Pineiro, David Reese, Jordan Smith, Freddie Swain, Mark Thompson and Kyle Trask:

Massey and Thompson are both four-star recruits according to Rivals. And the Florida recruiting class is the No. 7 recruiting class in the country according to Rivals. The Gators are just coming off a 10-win season and a trip to the Buffalo Wild Wings Citrus Bowl.
It feels like McElwain has a good base to begin building his program off of. We will see though what these new Gators can do soon.
