We're kicking off a new series at AllGators, sharing content from across the Florida beat twice a week on Tuesdays and Fridays to keep Gators fans in the loop with the latest news, analysis, and opinion.

With the NFL Draft set to kick off in about two weeks, recruiting news, new reports that come from the NCAA regarding COVID-19, and much more, there will always be something to catch up on.
