Dan Mullen gained another weapon Wednesday in ESPN 300 WR Jacob Copeland. Below, see how this Under Armour All-American can impact the Gators' passing attack:
What he brings: Copeland brings a strong frame with excellent speed (4.4 40-yard dash) and burst. Sharp route runner who creates great separation out of his breaks. Still refining his overall game and becoming more consistent with his hands.
How he fits: This young man can take the top off a defense and be that vertical threat that is a key component in Mullen's offense. A true speed threat who can also turn the short pass into a big-gainer.
Who he reminds us of: (Tyler Byrd, Tennessee). Similar builds with explosive movements and an aggressive mentality. Both are versatile athletes and perhaps better football players than pure positional prospects.
