Redshirt sophomore Scooby Williams was a four-star edge rusher out of Birmingham, Alabama in the 2021 recruiting class, committing to Florida over the Auburn Tigers. Williams played both edge rusher and linebacker early on in his Gators career but has found a home at linebacker in the 2023 season.

“I feel like it’s not about where you start but where you end up,” Williams said during Wednesday’s press conference. “You’ve gotta enjoy the process. Football is just a game it’s not the endpoint. It’s a journey and I fell in love with the journey. No matter what happen in-between, I love football.
