There’s plenty to criticize on the Gators’ defense in 2024, but Jason Marshall’s play has been one of the very bright spots through four games. It’s a ‘contract year’ for the senior cornerback, who returned for his final season of eligibility after not performing up to his expectations in 2023. Through five weeks of the season, Marshall grades as college football’s No.1 cornerback in single coverage, according to Pro Football Focus.
Marshall has allowed just five receptions for 42 yards on 10 targets. 41 one those yards were after the catch, indicating that Marshall has only allowed receptions on underneath routes or screens.
