No. 19 — Cornelius Ingram, Florida

Senior tight end

Why he's No. 19: Ingram came to Florida to play quarterback, switched to slot receiver and has had his best moments as a tight end. Ingram could have been drafted into the NFL but chose to come back and try to become a better blocker this season.

Key number: 7. It's not only the number he wears but the number of touchdown catches Ingram had in 2007, up from only one the previous season. Ingram had a touchdown for every 4.9 catches last season.

Fun fact: Ingram and offensive tackle Jason Watkins were both born on June 10, 1985, and are the oldest players on the current Gator team.
