Florida head coach Jim McElwain announced on Saturday that six walk-ons were put on scholarship a day after the teams' final scrimmage before he season starts. The players who received scholarships were running back Case Harrison, defensive lineman Dakota Wilson, wide receiver Roger Dixon, tight end Bair Diamond, linebacker Stephen Stipe, and defensive back Garrett Stephens.

"These guys have worked hard to make the Gators better every day," McElwain posted on his Twitter account about the new scholarship members of the team.

NCAA rules allow a total of 85 scholarship players. The Gators enter the 2015 season with 82 players on scholarship with the addition of the new six names.
