Eugene Wilson III Feels “Dangerous” in Year 2 | Florida Gators 2024 Fall Camp

how many times do you want to touch the ball a game as many times need to win a game do you have like a you kind of know going into the game plan how much they might you know utilize you like Tennessee game for instance that first drive you had you know was going to be like that not at all but you know going into every game really going into every play I'm just trying to make the most out of every touch I get how much do you think uh taking on return return duties this year could factor into that or does that not factor into it oh yeah being a part of the return game most definitely think I can have control of the game you know I feel like especially in our past we done had a lot of returners that you know had a game in their hands just off of returns punt returns kick returns so being able to have that aspect change of the game I feel like that that's some something I'm really looking forward to do you want to do that this year oh yeah puns puns kicks both puns returns whatever they need how you like learn from cooks G he's intense when I when I first came here as a freshman I'm going be honest I did not like him and you know I used to uh talk to my dad and all about it but he just kind of grew on me and I kind of realized that's the way coaches like not all the coaches going to be like High School coaches and all that we in college ball now so you know I just took to learning made sure to come in and take 1% every day be able to pick his brain what didn't you like about him just how intense he was I feel like a lot of the stuff was unnecessary but looking back on everything he do everything he say is necessary so I appreciate him most definitely for that at what point did he start growing on you um I say going in the camp because you know we was here with him every day I just kind of started to lean on him is it just like all the details from detail to a regular conversation you know but um like I said he just grew on me and I appreciate everything about him I appreciate tell when you said something to your dad what was your dad's response he was just kind of letting me know the type of coaches he going experience in college so you know I was only here for not even a month or two and so once I got in for a little bit it started to Mi sense what do you expect to see your maybe the next Evolution for you playmaker I'll say just you know every day of practice just being able to let the game slow down for me you know being able to see all different perspectives from the field and um coach nap like to you know emphasize being a 4D Gator which is pretty much seeing not just your position but all sides of the ball from you know all the positions on the offensive side to all the positions and rols on the defensive side so pretty much knowing all 22 assignments are you closer to that how much closer are you this year than last year a lot closer yeah was your head just spinning last year trying to figure out your own um I say I was just out there running around you know just following instructions but now just kind of following my role do you feel more dangerous in year two knowing knowing what you know well lining up I feel the most dangerous every play so said no all recognition does that feel you at all I mean obviously you know it's kind of U kind of a buming out to see my name up there but at end of the day you know I had a few people sending me you know videos and pictures of that but I'll just go ahead and like the message because it's not too much to say with my name not being up there but you know put in my back pock and you know keeping on hold for the rest of the season I give you I appreciate that I mean I feel like shoot all the weight that we to put on it's like nobody really slowed down and all if anything everybody's getting faster more explosive everybody feel good about their weight everybody checking their self out but I feel like shoot it's it's a lot going in you know in and out from the weight room so checking themselves out we got a big old mirror in the locker room yeah
