Q&A: Florida safety Marcus Maye

Related Topics: Florida, Marcus Maye

Florida lost three of its top defensive players as early entrants into the NFL draft. But the Gators got a big victory when safety Marcus Maye announced he would return to school for his senior year.

I recently had a chance to catch up with Maye about his decision to stay, his goals for 2016 and how Florida can keep playing up to its high defensive standards. Here is a little of what he had to say.

What went into your decision to return to school?

MM: Just coming back for my last year, to just be a more complete player as far as knowing the coverages, just the small things, just so I could help myself in the long run.
