I may not be a great judge for identifying national talent though. They beat Bingham without their best player. Point is 2014 BTW was shown the backseat for some odd reason. Made no sense.

Yeah, I've heard of some of his mistakes. I remember him for a play against Tennessee, where another wide receiver threw a great block and Callaway sprinted down the sideline for a touchdown to give Florida the lead.

954gator Posted July 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2020 BTW had a few Nfl guys on that team. RB Mark Walton also got in trouble in the league but was a beast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all fairness it's not like UF has exactly hit home runs at that position since harvin lol Callaway was decent at UF but I always felt like he would take plays off at times (at least I think he's the one I'm thinking of but I could be thinking of someone with a similar name) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callaway was making plays when the Gators had the worst QBs and offenses we’ve ever had lol. And Florida’s had plenty of good WRs since harvin.

I also remember several games seeing him drop a ball thrown right in his hands with nobody near him To me if you do that once you hit that high level you were taking the play off, same with Odell who will make some freak catch but drop something throw to him right to him with nobody within 10 yards of him Almost like some WRs need it to be a tough catch for them to be interested enough to make an effort Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many of those you think were in Miami? @norcross @BG @oscar Smith @Tucker neutral vs BIngham (who went to OT with BG In vegas that year) not to mention beating some of Miami Central’s best teams. Not sure if you remember, but Booker T went out to Texas and smashed Cedar Hill in 2012. I believe they won state that year as well. https://www.dallasnews.com/sports/2012/09/16/run-defense-dooms-cedar-hill-in-40-21-loss-to-miami-s-booker-t-washington/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won it all including beating BG in Vegas then next year both go undefeated and BG ranked 1 and BTW 13th?? It's showing BG being ranked number 2 that year (2014). Maybe...just maybe they finished higher due to more OOS games that year. In their first 6 weeks, they played Brophy Prep (AZ), Servite, Bingham, Cen10, Santa Margarita, and SJB. It is confusing how Booker T finished 5th in the Xcellent25 rankings and 13th in the national rankings after going 14-0. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So yeah they went to Texas in 2012 as well. Cedar Hill was runner up 5A d2 that year (although had a few other losses) Damn Treon was so damn composed in HS. He’s never not looking downfield while somehow zigzagging around the pocket with zero fucks given about any rush. Never seemed to be really even running full out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is confusing how Booker T finished 5th in the Xcellent25 rankings and 13th in the national rankings after going 14-0. Maybe but I'm pretty sure several publications back then had BG #1. I just can't seem to find those old polls or even remember what polls existed back then. Which is the poll that had like a national 25 then had a regional top 10 or 15 rankings?
