FAU is losing another key part of their defense, as senior cornerback Zyon Gilbert announced he is declaring for the 2022 NFL Draft via his Twitter account Tuesday morning.
Gilbert had a long career at FAU. He played in 59 games over five seasons, meaning he played in over 25% of the program’s games.
In the 2021 season, Gilbert collected 50 total tackles and two interceptions and earned a C-USA All-Conference Honorable Mention. Over his entire career at FAU, he accounted for 247 total tackles and five interceptions.
Gilbert also finishes his FAU career with two C-USA Conference Championships and Boca Raton Bowl wins in the 2017 and 2019 seasons.
