Heading into 2017, the Gators will have to rebuild their defense especially at cornerback which is a top priority this recruiting cycle.
It is a familiar position for the Gators who lost All-American cornerback Vernon Hargreaves a season ago when he decided to forgo his senior year and enter the 2016 NFL draft. Hargreaves was a first-round draft pick, selected by Tampa Bay with the No. 11 pick.
With just one regular season game left to play, Hargreaves has had a solid rookie season with the Buccaneers. He’s recorded a total of 71 tackles – 64 of his own and assisting in 7.
