Florida has added two players from the transfer portal since the 2020 season ended, and both are interior defensive linemen. First was Antonio Shelton from Penn State last week, and then yesterday Orlando native DaQuan Newkirk came over from Auburn.
With Kyree Campbell having already announced for the NFL Draft and both Tedarrell Slaton and Marlon Dunlap having walked on Senior Day, it seems likely that the Gators will lose all three senior defensive tackles from last year’s team. Campbell’s periodic absences revealed just how thin UF was at the spot to begin with, as there was a dramatic difference between him being available and not.
