SALT LAKE CITY, Utah -- From over 4,700 feet above sea level, All Gators would like to welcome you to Florida's 2023 season. 

Whether or not it will showcase improvement from the Gators' 6-7 (3-5 SEC) campaign, Florida will absolutely look different compared to a year ago. 

Florida's Week 1 depth chart features 15 new starters on offense and defense, after the program welcomed over 30 new scholarship players via high school recruiting and the transfer portal during the offseason. Napier also replaced three assistant coaches, most notably hiring Austin Armstrong as the team's new defensive coordinator. 

The revamped Gators will make their debut out west against the back-to-back Pac-12 champion Utah Utes on Thursday night.
