"Here's a newsflash: Matt Elam is going to play as a true freshman this fall.
Actually, that notion shouldn’t come as much of a surprise to anyone who has watched Elam practice this spring or read reports of his play on the internet. Although Elam came to Florida much heralded as Mr. Football of the state of Florida in 2009 and with numerous prep All-American honors, it is still impressive to see Elam play this well, this early.
Now, after nearly a month of work at safety, this seems clear: Matt Elam is going to be a good safety for the Gators.
“I think Matt Elam has a really high football IQ,” defensive coordinator Teryl Austin said of Elam following the Orange and Blue Debut spring football game on Saturday. “He has a lot of work to do. By no stretch is he near being a finished product, so to speak. But he has a lot of things in front of him that say this guy is going to be a really good football player for us.”
