HOOVER, Ala. -- Florida will enter the 2019 season well short of the NCAA maximum of 85 scholarship players, but it looks like the bleeding in the 2019 signing class has been somewhat stemmed.

The Gators had two players transfer following spring practice (quarterback Jalon Jones and cornerback Chris Steele) and another two who failed to qualify and have to go the junior college route (offensive lineman Deyavie Hammond and linebacker Diwun Black). Three more have yet to arrive on campus, but at least two appear to be in good shape. Or at the very least, coachDan Mullen didn't sound particularly concerned about losing either due to academic snags.

He said the Gators are simply waiting on some final paperwork to be signed off on by the NCAA for receivers Arjei Henderson and Dionte Marks.

"We have one or two guys still working on paperwork stuff to get here," Mullen said. "We've got to finish the paperwork through the NCAA. It hasn't been filed, so I don't want to confirm it until they put the stamp on it, but it's July so I'm sure they do some summer vacations up there too."

Both would be significant additions to the roster. Florida won't necessarily need on-field contributions from the duo this fall with a veteran receiving corps, but at least four receivers will be gone after the 2019 season. Getting guys like Henderson and Marks on campus and into the practice setting so they're ready to contribute in 2020 and beyond is key.

Henderson was one of Florida's highest-rated recruits. Tabbed as the No. 140 overall player in the country in the 2019 class, he was a 6-foot-1, 183-pound prospect who ranked as the No. 23 receiver in the nation.

Overall, Mullen isn't particularly concerned about being a little under the maximum allotment of scholarships, either.

"I think it's kind of the new era of college football," Mullen said. "Unless the NCAA does something to change the rules to let you sign over with guys that are transferring out, it's going to be hard to have a full roster.

"We were under last year a little bit. I'm sure we'll have a walk-on or two that's earned a scholarship."

The second-year coach also didn't seem caught off-guard by some of the attrition in the 2019 signing class, something that has been one of the top storylines surrounding the program in the offseason.

"It didn't really shock us, the qualification ones," Mullen said. "Some of the guys we knew were really (risks); we weren't expecting them to make it and there was a chance they might. I think we were kind of expecting the numbers to be a certain way and the way they are.

"But the transfer thing you can't really control in today's world."

Florida is also still waiting on offensive lineman Wardrick Wilson, who is from the Bahamas and is ironing out issues getting his visa.

"Wardrick Wilson, obviously that's going to be a legal issue moving forward," Mullen said. "We didn't expect that. Full NCAA qualifier."
