Junior edge rusher Princely Umanmielen is having an impressive season despite totaling just three sacks through eight games. The 6-5, 255-pound Texas native grades as the 31st best edge defender while holding the 7th best pressure grade amongst eligible players in the FBS, according to Pro Football Focus.
“I get to the quarterback. As soon as I get there, he just throws the ball away. So many quarterback hits. It’s a little frustrating,” Umanmielen said on his season.
Umanmielen has nine QB hits while no other Gator defender has more than three. His 22 QB hurries rank first on the team while the next closest Gator in that department is Caleb Banks with 13.
