Only four games into the 2015 season, Florida may have already found its star receiver for the future.
Freshman Antonio Callaway won the SEC Freshman Player of the Week award for his outstanding effort in the narrow 28-27 victory over Tennessee. His 63-yard touchdown catch put Florida ahead late in the fourth quarter, and was the eventual game-winning play.
A former Rivals.com 4-star recruit, Callaway leads the Gators in receiving yards (172) on the season, and has accrued an impressive 19.1 yards-per-catch average. The Miami native has demonstrated very good yard-after-catch ability in multiple games this year. Callaway is able to use his quickness to gain separation, and his top-end speed is very good.
