Former Georgia outside linebacker Brenton Cox, a five-star recruit who left the team earlier this week, has transferred to play for the Bulldogs' biggest rival: Florida.
Cox, a sophomore from Stockbridge, Georgia, is listed as a player on Florida's 2019 roster on the athletics department's website. He will have to sit out this season under NCAA transfer rules, unless he can obtain a waiver from the NCAA for immediate eligibility.
Cox played in 13 of 14 games last season and finished with 20 tackles. He had a career-high six tackles in Georgia's 28-21 loss to Texas in the Allstate Sugar Bowl after starting in place of injured starter D'Andre Walker.
