The STAR position has been a revolving door for the Gators since Chauncey Gardner-Johnson left following the 2018 season.
Trey Dean played the first nine games at the position in 2019. He never looked comfortable there, and he isn’t quick enough or a good enough open-field tackler to succeed there. He was replaced by Marco Wilson for the final four games of the season.
Wilson enjoyed some success there, but UF needed him to move back outside in 2020. Brad Stewart took over at STAR after his suspension ended in week three. Stewart struggled to cover anybody along with the rest of the secondary and opted not to return to college for another year.
