Bryan Cox Jr. is not one of Florida’s most heralded players.
With the likes of Jonathan Bullard, Vernon Hargreaves III and Antonio Morrison playing defense for the Gators, it’s hard for others to get acclaim.
But among his teammates and coaches, Cox is becoming a household name.
“We recognize those who don’t show up in the box score,” UF coach Jim McElwain said.
While the redshirt junior defensive end is Florida’s fifth-leading tackler this year, he’s making other hits that are just as valuable.
In addition to his play on special teams, Cox is also serving as a fullback in 2015.
