After bringing in five early enrollees during the spring and two more signees from the 2017 recruiting class for the Summer A semester of classes, Florida welcomed in 15 more signees this past week before the Summer B session begins Monday. In addition, Notre Dame graduate transfer quarterback Malik Zaire and Clemson transfer offensive tackle Jake Fruhmorgen also made their way to campus.
The only player the Gators are waiting on to enroll from the 2017 recruiting class is wide receiver James Robinson, who has met NCAA requirements but is still waiting on UF admissions to give him the go-ahead to report to Gainesville.
Today, Inside the Gators takes a closer look at Florida's offensive additions from this past week and how they fit on the roster this upcoming season.

The skinny: After the SEC altered its graduate transfer policy, clearing the way for Zaire to join the Gators, he visited UF a couple weeks ago and then officially enrolled this past week. Although his resume (three starts, 17 appearances) isn't expansive, Zaire is an experienced signal-caller who could push Feleipe Franks for the starting job this fall. Zaire's camp has stressed that he wants to play in a pro-style offense as a grad transfer, but it'll be interesting to see whether UF adds some new wrinkles this year to its offense to suit Zaire's mobility and running ability, especially if he beats out Franks.
