GAINESVILLE — UF linebacker Brenton Cox Jr. transferred from SEC heavyweight Georgia to become the elite pass rusher the rival Gators needed.
Tailback Demarkcus Bowman, a native of Lakeland, left home only to return and sign with the Gators after a short stint at powerhouse Clemson.
Arguably the two most intriguing transfers during coach Dan Mullen’s first three seasons in Gainesville now enter preseason camp faced with uncertainty due to injury while pushing to meet high expectations.
An offseason foot injury sidelined Cox and leaves him a little less 100% as preseason practices kick off Friday.
