Last week, I went over how Florida’s defense is set for 2020 thanks to its versatility. Part of how the defense can be successfully versatile all over is that there has been a distinct talent infusion there since Dan Mullen took over the program.
In Mullen’s 2018 transitional class, he signed 11 offensive and seven defensive players with one who could’ve played either way. That one was Justin Watkins, who was dismissed from the program over the ensuing summer, so we never got a firm answer on his eventual playing spot.
Regardless, some number of players have left that class, from Randy Russell being medically disqualified right away to Lucas Krull deciding to transfer after the 2019 season.
