Cece Jefferson embracing a bigger role in 2016

Cece Jefferson was the prized recruit of the Florida Gators’ 2015 class. As one of the most highly rated players in the country, the former five-star recruit lived up to the hype in his first season as a Gator. Jefferson recorded 29 total tackles, with 8.5 tackles for lost yards, and 3.5 sacks as a freshman.

He has played a lot of downs for the Gators as he heads into his sophomore season, but he will be taking on a much bigger role in 2016. He and Caleb Brantley will have to combine to be what Jonathan Bullard was the last few seasons.
