Quotable
“I grew up in Alabama and always watched SEC football. It was kind of one of my dreams to play in the SEC. Then, Florida — they have the toughest schedule, I’m familiar with their scheme and I just thought it was a great fit.
“I’m naturally a safety with my size — 6-foot-3, 200 pounds. I’m rangy, have speed and my IQ is really good — I can see the field and be the QB on the defense. I can play corner and safety. That’s the versatility I have and bring to the game.
“I was recruited out of high school as a safety, then transitioned to corner my freshman year at Oregon. I’ve been playing that since college, but I’ve played some snaps at safety as well.”
