Defensive lineman Dominique Easley and tight end Jordan Reed continue to wait and gather information before announcing their decision. http://florida.scout.com/2/1254409.html 2047 Cody Jones http://florida.scout.com/2/1254409.html Thu, 03 Jan 2013 07:09:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida Groin surgery cost Matt Elam from having the offseason the Florida coaches wanted for him. It kept him from being as involved in the offseason, but just to make sure the coaches saw his interest level, the junior safety went into the summer on a mission. He wanted to prove himself as a playmaker in the secondary. He capped off the highlight-filled campaign with All-American honors. http://florida.scout.com/2/1251781.html 2047 Cody Jones http://florida.scout.com/2/1251781.html Mon, 24 Dec 2012 03:16:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida Florida safety Matt Elam capped off a strong season by being named a first team AP All-American.

The 5-10, 210-pound junior was one of five Gators to play in and start every game in 2011. http://florida.scout.com/2/1202121.html 2047 Cody Jones http://florida.scout.com/2/1202121.html Fri, 13 Jul 2012 17:16:00 GMT 0 168 Florida florida Maybe anger isn’t the correct word, but Florida sophomore safety Matt Elam had a lot on his mind in the month leading up to the Gator Bowl win over Ohio State. The Gators star was part of a defense that played extremely well against Florida State only to see his team lose. Then his father passed away during the month making things extremely difficult. http://florida.scout.com/2/1146563.html 2047 Bob Redman http://florida.scout.com/2/1146563.html Sat, 07 Jan 2012 20:00:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida There are several Gator players that played well most of the season and one on defense has been safety Matt Elam. Whether he is stuffing the run inside, heading off an outside runner, or playing in the secondary, Elam has made plays all year for this team and continues to do so. He is so glad to get the win Saturday against Vanderbilt and believes they have been working hard to make more happen. http://florida.scout.com/2/1125542.html 2047 Bob Redman http://florida.scout.com/2/1125542.html Sun, 06 Nov 2011 21:59:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida Gainesville (FL) - Confidence seems to be the key to a lot of the questions that sophomore safety Matt Elam answered for the Florida media on Wednesday. After coming off of one of his better games verses Kentucky, Elam seems ready for whatever challenges Alabama brings his way in one of the most anticipated games for the Gators in quite a while. http://florida.scout.com/2/1112230.html 2047 Morgan Palmer http://florida.scout.com/2/1112230.html Fri, 30 Sep 2011 05:10:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida The leader of Florida’s secondary met with the media following Florida’s big win on Saturday and brought a little memento to show off. It seems the Florida coaching staff made sure that Elam and company knew that the super sophomore receivers at Tennessee weren’t exactly giving Florida’s secondary credit for being very good. Elam was ready to show off the message sent by his coaches. http://florida.scout.com/2/1107879.html 2047 Bob Redman http://florida.scout.com/2/1107879.html Sun, 18 Sep 2011 07:34:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida There was something about last year’s Florida football team that just wasn’t right. The offensive difficulties were well documented, but on defense, as well as they played at times, there was something missing. Matt Elam played a lot as a true freshman last year and believes the same about that defense. After a fun season opener, he feels like Florida is getting its swagger back. http://florida.scout.com/2/1102603.html 2047 Bob Redman http://florida.scout.com/2/1102603.html Sun, 04 Sep 2011 04:15:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida Gainesville, FL- Matt Elam is ready to lay out the opposition come Saturday night. While he may not know who is lining up next to him on game day, Elam is confident in his abilities and the progress he has made within the past year. On Wednesday, Elam spoke to media and FightinGators.com was there to capture it all, find out what Elam had to say about the progress of his team. http://florida.scout.com/2/1101236.html 2047 Milani Beaudrault http://florida.scout.com/2/1101236.html Wed, 31 Aug 2011 19:10:00 GMT 0 168 Florida florida Matt Elam and Josh Evans lead Florida's safety corps in experience but they don't have a huge amount under their belts. Still, coach Muschamp is counting on them to lead a group that has athletic ability on their side but lacks experience. http://florida.scout.com/2/1093272.html 2047 Laura McKeeman http://florida.scout.com/2/1093272.html Mon, 08 Aug 2011 02:26:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida Sometimes Matt Elam looks back at last season and wonders when it all went wrong. Talent wasn’t the issue, but the Gators still lost five games in 2011. It was the division between the freshman and the rest of the team that caused problems. There is plenty of fault to go around for what happened, but the sophomores are now working hard to make sure it doesn’t happen again. http://florida.scout.com/2/1092886.html 2047 Cody Jones http://florida.scout.com/2/1092886.html Sat, 06 Aug 2011 19:33:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida With the loss of a shutdown cornerback in Janoris Jenkins from the Florida secondary, the Gators need consistency on the back end of the defense this season. Florida hopes it will come from safety Matt Elam, who was named to the 2011 Jim Thorpe Award watch list on Monday by the National College Football Awards Association. http://florida.scout.com/2/1085812.html 2047 Cody Jones http://florida.scout.com/2/1085812.html Mon, 11 Jul 2011 14:15:00 GMT 0 168 Florida florida
