Gators Breakdown

Christian Robinson says "versatility" is what he look for in a linebacker for the University. In today's college football, players need to be able to adapt to what opposing offenses are doing without coming off the field.

David Waters and Will Miles (Read and Reaction) discuss the versatile pieces Florida has on that second level of the defense. Also, hear from defensive linemen Gervon Dexter and DaQuan Newkirk on the new-look defensive line and how they are coming together.

Plus, Brett Ciancia from Pick Six Previews hops on to get his thoughts on the Gators. Brett had Florida in the CFP last season, but where does he have the Gators ranked in his top-rated preview for 2021?

”DBU” used to be a moniker Florida could claim after years of great defensive back play, but after the last two seasons, the Gators find themselves not living up to that tradition. To fix that issue, Billy Napier hired one of the best cornerback coaches in the game, Corey Raymond.

David Waters shares Raymond’s thoughts on leaving LSU for Florida and what he is trying to instill in his cornerbacks. Also, hear from cornerback Jason Marshall.

According to opposing coaches in 2023 preseason magazines, Billy Napier has inherited the least talented Florida Gators roster in 20 years. This could pose a challenge for the team in the upcoming season. However, Napier has a reputation for being a skilled recruiter and developer of talent. With his leadership, the team may be able to excel despite the perceived lack of talent.

David Waters is joined by Will Miles (Read and Reaction) to discuss opposing coaches views on the Gators as well as where the Gators stack up to other SEC programs in Athlon’s and Lindy’s previews.
