GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Nearly a month after our last scholarship update for the Florida Gators there have been several changes to the roster at UF, including three defections from the 2019 signing class.

That leaves Florida with a little extra breathing room below the 85-man NCAA scholarship limit, something that could allow the Gators to take in a transfer or two this summer.

Swamp247 takes a look at the current scholarship situation to break it down.

As of this writing, Florida is currently slated to have 81 scholarships taken up for the 2019 season. Of those, 59 are returning players, 11 are returning players and 11 have yet to enroll from the 2019 signing class.

As far as the 2019 roster goes, there are only a few positions not within reasonable distance of their projected target numbers at the position. Right now, the lack of bigger bodies on the defensive line is the biggest.

Florida has six scholarship defensive tackles on the roster, two short of our projected eight for a healthy scholarship allotment. Moreover, the Gators have just three scholarship strong-side ends, one short of our projected four.

Between the two spots, that leaves the Gators a little shy on bigger guys. That concern is a huge point of emphasis for the 2020 recruiting class, because of the nine players at those two spots, seven are set to be gone within the next two years.

Florida is aggressively attacking that problem, already boasting two commitments in the 2020 class from defensive tackles. Still, that's an area where Florida can likely afford to take as many as three to four more players between tackle and strong-side end.

The only other areas on the roster where Florida is short a body or two at a position are quarterback (Jalon Jones's departure leaves UF with just three scholarship quarterbacks this season) and defensive back.

Cornerback is still relatively solid numbers-wise based on who's projected to play there, but safety has just six bodies right now (five of which are gone in the next two years).

Florida will need to take a hefty defensive backs class, though three are already committed. Don't be surprised if the Gators take as many as six defensive backs this cycle, with the main focus from here being on guys who can play safety.

The real thing to watch moving forward is how Florida begins to balance out positions class-wise.

The glut of veteran defensive tackles on this year's roster is an issue; that same issue is now possible at defensive back and the offensive line due to attrition and heavy signings at those positions in the last year.

The offensive line has 10 signees within the past two years. So while numbers show the Gators could use one to three more there, don't be surprised if Florida sticks to the lower end of that number and redshirts at least half of the seven 2019 signees to begin to create some class separation on the roster.

Unfortunately, the Gators may not have that same luxury at defensive tackle or in the secondary in the next year or two.
