GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) – Sharrif Floyd walked toward midfield for the coin toss, one of Florida’s four team captains against Tennessee.
It spoke volumes about what the 15th-ranked Gators think of the sophomore defensive lineman who was ineligible the first two games. It also said something about how they feel about the NCAA’s decision.
Floyd had three tackles, two quarterback hurries and a pass breakup in Florida’s 33-23 victory against the Volunteers on Saturday. His numbers hardly tell the story.
Floyd got one of the loudest ovations during pre-game introductions, a rousing cheer that rivaled the announcement of star running back Chris Rainey.
Coach Will Muschamp says Floyd has become a respected leader, “an outstanding young man, as good as we’ve got in that locker room.”
