With Florida's spring football schedule in the books, there were plenty of Gators who stood out and helped their cause, and then others who simply just left us wanting more from them. On top of that, five Florida early enrollees got a taste of the college level.

Today, Inside the Gators reviews the spring with our Take Five.

FIVE OF THE STANDOUTS ON OFFENSE

1. Junior wide receiver Antonio Callaway: Callaway certainly looked like Florida's best player on the field on offense in the spring game, finishing with 51 receiving yards and a touchdown on three catches. One of those plays saw Callaway channel his inner Madden joystick and hurdle over a walk-on defensive back to cheers. Callaway's performance in the Orange & Blue Debut put an exclamation point on what was an excellent first spring for him at the college level. He's without a doubt Florida's No. 1 option at wideout.

2. Junior running back Jordan Scarlett: Running backs coach Ja'Juan Seider called Scarlett the "alpha in the room," and it's clear why. He was definitely Florida's best performer among the tailbacks this spring, consistently breaking free for big runs in practices and displaying great shiftiness and elusiveness. In the spring game, he shed plenty of tackles and stayed on his feet facing contact en route to 39 yards and a touchdown on nine carries.

3. Junior left tackle Martez Ivey: Florida's offensive line took an overall step in the right direction this spring, and Ivey played a big part in that. Transitioning from left guard to left tackle this spring, Ivey looks like a natural fit at tackle and continues to keep the edge clean for the quarterbacks. He was Florida's best contributor along the O-line this spring and should have a big junior season, if he can stay healthy.
