From the road: Florida

Recruiting Wrap: Shiner is committed to West Virginia.
Performance: Shiner is exactly what teams look for in an interior defensive lineman. He's big, strong and not afraid to take on multiple blockers. He spent the entire night working in the middle of the defense, and faced constant double teams. It didn't stop him from making his share of plays in the run game and as a pass rusher he showed an ability to get push and when he didn't get to the quarterback he used his length to get a couple of batted balls. He's a guy whose motor and work ethic will never be questioned and it makes up for some of the things he might lack when it comes to pure athleticism.
Grade: B+
DE
Shavar Manuel (2016)
Tampa Blake
Recruiting wrap: Holds 13 offers, including Alabama, Florida State, UCLA and Ohio State.
Performance: He was mostly double-teamed and most plays ran against him. He finished with a sack and two tackles for loss though. And he also knocked down the quarterback in a play most refs would let go, yet Manuel is so strong and physical that his slight push on the quarterback sent him flying, so the flag flew as well.
Grade: B
ATH
Oviedo (Fla.) Hagerty
Recruiting wrap: Holds offers from Akron, Charleston Southern.
Performance: Dixon made a number of key catches and also showed athleticism by extending his long arms to make difficult catches. His offers list is short but his potential reaches further.
Grade: B
ATH
Tampa Robinson
Recruiting wrap: Holds Ivy League offers from Brown, Dartmouth, Harvard, Penn and Yale.
Performance: Foster was a presence on both sides of the ball. He recorded a critical sack and also made a number of big runs, including rushing touchdowns of four and 28 yards.
Grade: B
WR
Tampa Robinson
Recruiting wrap: Committed to Maryland.
Performance: The three-star, who stands at 5-foot-10, 180 pounds, caught a big 40-yard touchdown pass to tie the game. His 20-yard run after the catch on the play sealed the score.
Grade: B
OT
Oviedo, Fla.
Recruiting Wrap: Sander has offers from Oregon State and USF.
Performance: Sander is a huge body on the offense line, checking in at 6-foot-5 and 300-plus pounds. He played the entire game at left tackle and did a great job opening holes in the run game as well as showing an ability to move his feet as a pass blocker. With his size, it's hard to believe that he doesn't have more offers, but even if his future is at guard, it's likely he will find a home, perhaps at a Power Five school before the cycle is over.
Grade: B
ATH
Juwan Burgess (2018)
Tampa Blake
Performance: Burgess manned the quarterback position for Blake and was under pressure all night thanks to the Robinson defensive line. He still managed to make a few good scrambles out of the pocket, demonstrating an above-average running ability, and his most impressive play was a 60-yard touchdown pass to Corey Bennett. He has the tools and instincts to make for an effective quarterback, but his strengths lie in his ability to run.
Grade: B
RB
Oviedo, Fla.
Recruiting Wrap: Green has offers from several schools, including USF and Louisville.
Performance: It was a big night for Green, who scored his team's only touchdown on a 25-yard run early in the game. After that he didn't see the ball as much, but late in the game he ripped off a long run following a screen pass and also had another 60-yard run that was stopped just short of a touchdown. Green is a short, stout back and probably doesn't have the breakaway speed that some coaches would like for a player his size. But he's tough and more importantly productive and it's easy to see why he added so many offers initially. He will likely end up out of the Power Five, but he will still be a productive back at the next level.
Grade: B-
OTHER PROSPECTS
LB
Tampa Blake
Jackson holds offers from Kentucky and Temple, and James Madison is showing interest. The 5-foot-11, 220-pounder was part of a Yellow Jackets defense that helped to keep Robinson scoreless for nearly three full quarters. He finished with a number of tackles.
RB
Tampa Blake
Bennett is seeing interest from numerous D-I schools including Auburn, Clemson and Oregon. While undersized at 5-foot-6, 160 pounds, he's lightning quick and shifty, best demonstrated by his 60-yard reception on a short pass route. He also added a 5-yard touchdown on fourth down.
WR
Oviedo, Fla.
Bryant is a long target at wide receiver (6-foot-3) and he showed on a highlight reel catch early in the game that he's capable of going up and making big-time plays. He's a 2015 prospect without any offers, but could be a late find for a school looking for a big pass-catcher.
LB
Tampa Blake
Gray is seeing interest from Miami, Michigan State and MTSU. He plays bigger than his 5-foot-7, 214-pound frame suggests and should see the field at the next level for an FCS program if none of his D-I interests extend an offer. He didn't make any big plays but assisted on a number of tackles.
WR
Patrick Keenan (2018)
Tampa Blake
Keenan is on the raw side, but has a 6-foot-2, 170-pound frame to work with and is a great-looking athlete. Once he bulks up, he has the potential to be a go-to force in the passing game, and was targeted several times on deep passes though he was unable to connect.
WR
Kyle Panagiotou (2016)
Oviedo, Fla.
Panagiotou is one of those players who does a little bit of everything. He played mostly at defensive back and made a couple of important pass breakups. His future is likely as a slot receiver and he has good hands and runs clean routes.
DE
Tampa Robinson
Blake's offense never really got in gear and its quarterback was under constant pressure just about every snap. A major reason why was the 6-foot-4, 245-pound Preston, who finished with a pair of sacks. It wouldn't be a surprise to see his recruitment pick up.
DB
Oviedo, Fla.
The Western Michigan commit did a nice job in coverage and was part of a unit that allowed only six points despite a constant effort in the passing game by Winter Park. He's a little undersized, but plays with an edge and attitude that you like to see from a defensive back.
ATH
Tristan Tucker (2016)
Oviedo (Fla.) Hagerty
Tucker stands at 5-foot-8, 165 pounds and is a fast, scrappy athlete that made a number of plays. He scored on a 70-yard punt return and added a few nice runs on offense. He's an FCS prospect at minimum but is the type you could see walking on for a D-I program if no offers are extended.
