FARRELL IMPRESSED WITH CORRAL

In this week's edition of Mike Farrell's Three-Point Stance, Farrell makes special mention of the performance put on by Florida Rivals100 quarterback commit Matt Corral over the weekend.

In ranking the top five performing quarterbacks, Farrell had Corral second behind the always impressive Trevor Lawrence.

Here is what he wrote about him:

Matt Corral – You could put Corral even with or even ahead of Lawrence here for his performance this past weekend. You want to see NFL throws? Check out the film. He made one throw on the run I don’t think even Lawrence could make and the way he handled pressure was a thing of beauty. He recently lost his fifth star due to a lackluster spring and summer, but if he plays like this all season, he’ll have it back. Florida fans have to be happy.

FLORIDA FIGHTING FOR A SPOT IN RIVALS100 TEAMMATES LIST OF FINALISTS

Though they have never been the outright leader, or truthfully in the thick of it, for months now Florida has been mentioned as a possibility by Plantation (Fla.) American Heritage teammates - Rivals100 cornerbacks - Patrick Surtain and Tyson Campbell.

The Gators have always been 'just hanging in' there, mostly part of their second or third tier of schools.

Now, it appears as though Florida will have to fight if they want to become legitimate contenders to get an official visit this fall.

Rivals analyst Adam Friedman has the latest on the duo.
