After a long three years that have felt like an extremely well-written movie script, Diwun Black is finally a Gator.
Black was a top-100 linebacker/safety in the class of 2019. He committed to the Gators over Ole Miss just minutes before Dan Mullen stepped to the podium for his first media day as UF’s coach in August 2018.
However, academics were a much-publicized concern with him. Despite this, the Gators allowed him to sign a national letter of intent in hopes that he could pull off an academic Hail Mary.
He didn’t. Instead, the Forest, Mississippi, native was forced to attend Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College for two years.
