"When it comes to playing time, one player's setback can be another player's opportunity.
With news of freshman wide receiver Andre Debose's season-ending knee surgery, there are suddenly a lot more snaps to go around.
Redshirt freshmen T.J. Lawrence and Frankie Hammond Jr. were thought to be the favorites to provide depth at the position, but Omarius Hines, also a redshirt freshman, has come on strong over the past week.
"He came out of nowhere. There was zero plan for him," Florida coach Urban Meyer said. "We have Thursday races on kickoffs where we actually race our kickoff team down the field. It's where some guys around here got noticed, all the way back to Reggie Nelson and Dorian Munroe. [Hines] is fast, and he's a good guy. He'll see more and more opportunities."
