Mazzi Wilkins has had to fight for respect and playing time going back to his days at Tampa’s Plant High School.
He chose his hometown school, because he wanted to restore the Bulls back to prominence and have the opportunity to play in front of family.
Five years later, he was able to do just that.
He leaves USF, as part of senior class that won 36 games, the most in program history over a four-year span. However, he’s the other half of a play that injured UCF quarterback McKenzie Milton.
Wilkins sat down with UDD to talk about that play, how he wants to be known as a player, his pride in being from Tampa and his aspirations at the next level.
