Florida veteran linebacker Brenton Cox Jr., one of the top players on a struggling defense, has dismissed from the team, Gators coach Billy Napier said Monday.
The decision, first reported by GatorsOnline’s Zach Abolverdi, came two days after the Gators’ 42-20 loss to Georgia, Cox’s former team.
“We’ve kind of decided to move on,” Napier said. “Being a football player at the University of Florida is a privilege. There’s certain expectations and standards that come with that. Sometimes you have to make decisions in the best interests of the team.”
