The first Florida Gators football player off the board.

Birthplace Apopka, Florida
School Jones
Year Senior

As for his 2012 Stats he played 13 games, had 37 solo tackles, 5.5 sacks, and 10 tackles for loss.

PER ESPN

"Excellent top-end speed and decent height. Still on the lighter side for a DT. However, weighed 240 pounds as a senior in high school and added another nine pounds between Senior Bowl and Combine. Carries weight well. Hand span (9.7) and arm length (33) are below average but only slightly. "
Good vs. The Run.

Disruptive and flashes the ability to make plays in the backfield. Gets down the line and can make plays outside the tackle box. Sub-par gap discipline and gets caught out of position a little too much though.
