The Florida Gators are seeking a waiver from the NCAA and SEC so that new transfer linebacker Brenton Cox can play football in 2019.
On Monday Florida Gators head coach Dan Mullen stated the obvious — that Florida would at least try to get a waiver for Cox — but he also expressed optimism with how he thinks the outcome play out.
“We’re definitely going to apply for a waiver for him and see; I think, we hope, we feel good about it, of having him be able to play,” Mullen said Monday. “I think you look at all the previous scenarios that are out there around the country, we feel we have a good opportunity.
