Youthful Florida secondary getting its feet wet during spring practice
Cornerback Marco Wilson is expected to play a big role in Florida's defense this season after recording 34 total tackles as a freshman in 2017.The Florida Gators secondary, which has produced five NFL draft picks in the last two seasons, takes pride in the moniker the school has received in recent years: Defensive Back University.
However, that “DBU” label has no meaning without putting the work in, starting with the team’s 2018 spring practices.
“Right now, we just take pride in learning the defense, growing the fundamentals and playing with a competitive nature,” cornerbacks coach Charlton Warren said after Wednesday’s practice.
