Overview:
Toney was initially a quarterback when he committed to play for former Gators coach Jim McElwain as part of the 2017 recruiting class. After arriving on campus, Toney quickly became a utility player, seeing sparse action as a runner, receiver and wildcat quarterback. As a true freshman, he totaled 272 yards and a score.
When coach Dan Mullen came in for the 2018 season, Toney’s role grew. He nearly doubled his production to 500 yards and he notched another score. He was expected to be a big part of the UF offense in 2019, but injuries held him out of several games. All in all, it was his least productive season. He netted just 255 yards and just a single touchdown again.
But he followed up a disappointing 2019 with a breakout 2020. Toney solidified his route-running skills and proved himself capable of being an every-down receiver. He was Florida’s leading receiver this season, making 70 catches for 984 yards and 10 touchdowns. Given his speed, athleticism and new-found technical prowess Toney could find himself an early pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.
