This is what an anonymous Florida Gators’ source told Gators Online earlier in the year about some of the standouts about Groce during the evaluation process.
“6’2 190 [pounds], but ran 10.75 in the 100M and 20.52 in the 200M,” the source told Gators Online. “Unique size and speed combination. Big and explosive. Speed to stretch the field. Outruns angles consistently. Also plays RB and punt returner. Shows toughness and contact balance. Has play strength. Elite ball skills, and can high point and make the contested catches.”
