What are your expectations heading into your freshman year at Florida?

Toney: “I just want to come in here and help the team. Hopefully we can make it to a bowl game and I want to try to earn a starting postion.”

Do you know what number you are going to wear?

Toney: “No not yet.”

Do you know who you are going to be rooming with?

Toney: “I am rooming with Kyree Campbell. There are four rooms in the dorms but I only know of Kyree rooming with me - I don’t know if more are coming later.”

You continue to mention playing quarterback at Florida. Are you excited to compete at that position in the spring?

Toney: “I am looking forward to stepping into that spot if they need me. I think I can help them because I have the ability to move outside the pocket. Sometimes when you take things out of the pocket it can help extend the play. They haven’t mentioned any other position - just quarterback.”

You had offers from Alabama and Auburn, what was it about Florida that made you want to leave your home state?

Toney: “It was really the home environment I got at Florida.”

Was there ever a time where you felt like you weren’t going to end up at Florida?

Toney: “It was always Florida. The media sometime tries to switch your words up like I was saying this or saying that, but with me it was always Florida. I have a close relationship with all the coaches at UF.”

Do you know what you want to major in?

Toney: "Criminal justice."
