Wingo goes in-depth on why he flipped to the Florida Gators

The Florida Gators coaching staff made big news in June when they flipped linebacker Derek Wingo (6-2, 210, Fort Lauderdale, FL. St. Thomas Aquinas) from Penn State.

Wingo made his way back to Gainesville on Friday for his first publically talked about visit to Gainesville and he likes what’s going on with the Gators linebackers.

“That’s kind of what has been the talk in the linebacker room,” Wingo said on working for a position once he gets on campus. “Knowing some of those guys and having those relationships and knowing that I can come in and compete and hopefully get on the field my freshman year is great.
