GAINESVILLE, Fla. – The Florida Gators will hold their annual Pro Day on Thursday at the Gary Condron Family Indoor Practice Facility. A total of 20 former UF players will participate in the event.

Eighteen draft-eligible Gators from the 2024 roster, an NFL veteran and an ex-Florida lineman will have the opportunity to showcase their abilities in front of NFL general managers, coaches and scouts.

The two former players are offensive linemen Max Garcia (2012-14), who has played nine years in the league, and Michael Tarquin (2019-22), who spent the last two seasons at USC and Oklahoma.

Gators Online will be on hand to cover the event with live updates from player workouts, including 40-yard dash times. Follow Corey Bender on X for videos along with our Swamp Talk forum.

Pro Day events will include weight room weigh-ins and measurements, bench press, vertical jump, broad jump as well as the 40-yard dash, 60-yard shuttle and position workouts.
