Catching up with Gators early enrollee QB Trask

Before Florida’s early enrollees moved into their dorms and then began the spring semester last Tuesday, Inside the Gators caught up with UF two-star quarterback commit Kyle Trask to discuss his road ahead.

ITG: How exciting is it to start your Spring semester at UF and how did you arrive at the decision to enroll early?

Trask: It’s so exciting, it’s pretty fast moving. It all happened pretty fast. I got offered in July and enrolled early. But it’ll be fun I’m sure.

ITG: What intrigued you about coming to Florida and what did you love most about Gainesville?

Trask: I visited here – I visited twice in July, and I just really loved the people here, it was very nice. I love the great tradition, the football team. They have great coaches. I love Coach Mac, he’s a great coach. And I mean, the people are awesome here.

ITG: What do you feel are your greatest strengths as a quarterback and what do you feel you can bring to the position?

Trask: I feel like my greatest strength is my level-headedness. I’m not going to get too high or too low. I feel like one of my greatest strengths is my work ethic. I’m very self-motivated. I really think I can help the team out.

ITG: What aspects of your game do you really want to improve the most?

Trask: I feel like I have good accuracy but you can never be too accurate. I’m always constantly working on that. I always want to have great feet so I’m constantly working on those two things.

ITG: What kind of goals do you have for yourself for these first few years at Florida? What do you hope to accomplish?

Trask: I want to get a good education. That’s one of the main factors why I came to Florida because it’s such a great school. Football-wise, I’m just really trying to work hard – fall competition you know. Just keep working and just see what happens.

ITG: What has the coaching staff said to you about your role fitting on the team next year?

Trask: They said I’m going to have a chance to compete for a spot and just to be ready to work. I’m ready to work.

ITG: Is there anybody in this current recruiting class or anybody on the roster you’re particularly cool with?

Trask: I’ve built a great relationship with (offensive line commit) Brett Heggie. He’s not an early enrollee but we’ve been in touch a lot and he seems like a good dude. One of my shadows on my official visit was Andrew Mike. He’s going to be in the same dorm as me, he’s really cool. He’s the only one I know that’s rooming with me. There’s two others.

ITG: What do you plan on majoring in?

Trask: Business.

ITG: What’s one aspect about you that most people don’t know?

Trask: Like I said before, my level-headedness – a lot of people don’t know me, I feel like it’s one of my greatest strengths. I’m never too low or too high. I’m always trying to stay in the moment.
