The Florida Gators defense is battling with youth this season after losing so much to the 2017 NFL Draft. No unit felt the effects of that more than the defensive backs.
Teez Tabor, Quincy Wilson and Marcus Maye all left to make plays on Sunday’s. Then, redshirt senior Marcell Harris suffered a season ending injury before the start of fall camp.
Aside from the unexpected loss of Harris, Florida knew what it was losing in the secondary, and recruited accordingly. The Gators brought in six freshmen defensive backs this year to reload and work to continue the DBU tradition.
