The 2019 season for Powder Springs (GA) McEachern kicked off this past Friday with a 48-10 win over Snellville (GA) Brookwood . 2021 four-star quarterback Carlos Del Rio , a Florida Gators commit was sharp in his season opener, throwing for 251 yards and two touchdowns while completing 15 of 18 attempts before the starters were pulled. You can see clips from his outstanding night in the video above.

Del Rio pulled the trigger and committed to the Gators back in July following his performance in the staffs Friday Night Lights Camp. Del Rio had visited Florida's campus several times before that commitment, and has a strong bond with coaches on the staff.

"I come down a lot, I have family down here, (I've been) staying in contact with coach Mullen and coach Brian Johnson," he said. "So it's a lot of connection."

It's the no BS type of approach the Gators coaching staff has that has been one of the biggest standouts in his decision behind committing to the Orange and Blue.

"The coaches keep everything real," Del Rio said of UF. "They're not going to tell you what you want to hear, they're going to tell you what you need to hear. And that's what I like about Florida."

Del Rio has also been able to work on the field a few times with Coach Johnson during camp sessions, and is excited to have the opportunity to work with him in the future.

"He is good at working on the little things that matter when you're playing in those big games," Del Rio explained. "It's on your timing, footwork, ball positioning, throwing to a spot and throwing guys open. He really preached on the little things like that."

As far as how he fits, Del Rio checks in at about 6 foot 3, 201 pounds. He's listed as a pro style quarterback and probably isn't quite the runner that some of Florida's other takes at the position -- Emory Jones, Jalon Jones and Anthony Richardson -- have been since Mullen arrived.

But Mullen has worked with plenty of quarterbacks with slightly different skill sets before. Del Rio's convinced he's got the right school, the right scheme and the right coaches.

"The offense is my style," he said. "I'm a passing quarterback, but if I need to use my legs I most definitely can. That's their type of offense. Coach Mullen being a quarterback coach, he's going to process you as being a pocket passer but if you need to be a dual-threat then you can."

The 247Sports Composite, an industry generated average, currently ranks Del Rio as the Nation's No. 197 overall prospect in the 2021 recruiting class.
