Florida’s 52-3 win over Campbell came with a full set of Pro Football Focus grades, and the numbers paint a clear picture: the Gators were sharp on both sides of the ball, with a few individual performances standing out even inside a lopsided result.
On offense, Dallas Wilson led the way with a 91.0 grade, topping the group of players who logged at least 10 snaps. Jadan Baugh followed at 86.8, while Jason Zandamela checked in at 86.6 and Bryce Lovett at 82.0. Vernell Brown III also cracked the top five with an 80.4, and quarterback Tramell Jones Jr. finished at 76.6.
The rest of the top 10 included Caden Jones at 74.9, Bailey Stockton at 72.7, Lue Harpring at 72.2 and Daniel Pierre Louis at 72.0. At the other end of the offensive chart, Heze Kent posted a 32.6, while Lacota Dippre came in at 57.9, Micah Mays Jr. at 58.0, Eagan Boyer at 59.9 and Amir Jackson at 60.2.
Florida’s defense had even more eye-catching numbers. DK Kalu earned a 90.5, the best mark on that side of the ball, with Lagonza Hayward right behind him at 88.4.
J’Vari Flowers graded at 84.7, Jalen Wiggins at 84.5 and Myles Johnson at 80.8. Bryce Thornton posted an 80.1, followed by Jeramiah McCloud at 78.8, Joseph Mbatchou at 78.1, Jaden Robinson at 76.6 and LJ McCray at 75.1.
The lowest defensive grades among players with at least 10 snaps went to Kanye Clark at 57.0, Cormani McClain at 57.1, Ben Hanks III at 59.1, Kamran James at 61.0 and DJ Coleman at 61.1.
Through two weeks, Florida’s team grades remain among the nation’s best. The Gators own a 97.3 overall grade, which ranks second nationally. Their offense sits at 92.0, good for fifth, while the defense has been even stronger at 92.2, the top mark in the country.
Breaking that down further, Florida’s passing grade is 79.9, which ranks 38th, and its pass-blocking grade is 77.6, good for 34th. The route-running grade stands at 82.0, fifth nationally, while the running grade is 85.9, 19th. Up front in the run game, Florida’s run-blocking grade is 80.3, which ranks ninth.
Defensively, the Gators have been dominant against the run with a 95.5 grade, first nationally. Their tackling grade is 90.0, second, and coverage sits at 91.1, also second. The one area that lags behind the rest is pressure, where Florida’s 68.3 grade ranks 67th.
A few other notes from the Campbell game rounded out the picture. Florida missed just three tackles in Week 2, bringing the season total to 13 through two games. Freshman receiver Justin Williams earned an 89.4 grade, though he was on the field for only five offensive snaps.
Flowers had a strong day in coverage, allowing one catch for negative one yard on four targets and adding two pass breakups. Bailey Stockton posted the game’s best run-blocking grade at 85.9, while Roderick Kearney led all players in pass blocking at 85.4, just ahead of Bryce Lovett at 85.2.
On the defensive side, Jayden Woods finished with a 50% win rate on true pass sets, and Jeramiah McCloud posted a 33.3% win rate.

Florida Quietly Found Depth Pieces Fans Should Be Watching Closely

Floridas New Standard Faces A Much Bigger Test Ahead
Jon Sumralls first few weeks at Florida have already made one thing clear: the new standard in Gainesville is going to be demanding, even after a blowout win. Following a victory by more than 40 points, Sumrall and defensive coordinator Brad White both pointed to the defense as an area that still fell short of where they expect it to be, a sign that the margin on the scoreboard was not enough to satisfy the new staff.
For a program trying to build consistency under a new head coach, the bigger challenge is keeping that edge when the games start to look comfortable. Sumrall has stressed the need for the Gators to hold themselves to a high standard and stay locked in mentally, and the next stretch will show whether that message sticks once Florida is asked to carry the same focus into a tougher test.
