The move that started as an in-game adjustment will play out the rest of the season and the only reason Florida can make the move long-term is because of Marco Wilson.
It started on the road against South Carolina. Trey Dean, who has been playing Star/nickelback for the Gators, was struggling. In the second half, Marco Wilson started playing there more with Kaiir Elam playing outside. Then against Vanderbilt, the move became full-time. Dean, who has started six games, would come off the bench against the Commodores. There were reports that Dean didn’t handle it well, but Dan Mullen shot those down after the game against Vanderbilt.
