The Gators will finally be getting one of their prized players on the field after undergoing an eligibility struggle with the NCAA. After sitting out a year, defensive end/outside linebacker Brenton Cox Jr., a former five-star from Georgia, will be playing this season.

Listed at 6-foot-4, 247 pounds, there is room for Cox to play the strong-side defensive end position as the Gators’ coaching staff continues to look for starters and depth on the defensive front.

In a press conference early in March, Gators head coach Dan Mullen stated the team has high expectations for Cox. Getting him in the mix will bolster the Gators’ defensive end position after losing two of their starters to the NFL.

"“I know he’s a talented player. It’s good to have him. Hopefully, they get some of those rules fixed up. It looks like they’re talking about those rules so at least there’s consistency in college football that way,” Mullen said."

It sounds like Cox is gearing up for a monster season.
