JACKSONVILLE – Dante Fowler Jr. is a diehard Florida Gators fan whose loyalty is unwavering. But the Jaguars’ defensive end also is a huge Will Muschamp supporter and said Muschamp is “going to do great things at South Carolina.”
Fowler played for Muschamp at Florida and said Thursday that Muschamp was a first-time head coach who had to learn on the job in Gainesville. “I’m sure he learned from his mistakes,” Fowler said.
So, will Fowler root for South Carolina now that Muschamp is there? He’s conflicted: He said he wished Muschamp wasn’t coaching in the SEC East but that he wants him to do well.
