Getting to Know: Cameron Dillard

Upon his arrival at Florida, Gator head coach Will Muschamp made it a goal of his to add more depth to his offensive and defensive line. Early on in the 2013 recruiting cycle the Gators were able to add to that depth when they received a commitment from Canton (Mich.) offensive lineman Cameron Dillard. The three-star signee made his pledge to Florida back in April and never wavered on his decision.
Dillard played tackle in high school but projects as a guard or center at the next level. The 6-foot-3, 285-pounder has a high motor and good run blocking ability but needs to improve his lateral quickness and pass blocking technique.

Today it's time to learn a little bit more about Dillard on a personal level in this edition of Getting to Know.

2. What is your favorite TV show?
Dillard: I like Family Guy, Cleveland Show, stuff like that.

Dillard: I speed on the highway a lot, that's pretty bad.
7. Who would you most want to trade places with for one day?

12. What' on your bucket list? Name three things you want to do before dying.
Dillard: I definitely wanna go sky-diving. I've always wanted to that. Just travel the world and check places out I've never seen before. And maybe go to Bora Bora, that would be pretty sick.
13. What's one thing Gator fans would be surprised to know about you?
Dillard: I like shoes a lot. I guess I have kind of a shoe fetish. I just like getting new shoes all the time. Jordans, I got a pair of the new Air Max, shoes like that.
