Gainesville, FL

If you picked a Florida defensive play at random from the 2022 season there’s a roughly 3-4 chance Gervon Dexter was on the field for it. Due to a severe lack of depth at the position, Florida’s coaches had no choice but to play Dexter at a rate higher than nearly every Power 5 defensive lineman.

An eerie photograph from a trail camera in New York state shows what appears to be a ghostly figure following a pair of hunters. Shared with Coast to Coast AM by Jesi Grandall, the chilling image was captured in December of 2021 as her husband, Bob, and their daughter were out hunting on their property in the community of Savona. The unsettling photo went unnoticed until last week when he was going through his trail cam pictures from the past few years and noticed the spooky translucent figure behind them.

PHOENIX — Upon his hiring, Willie Bloomquist understood the expectations facing him at Arizona State's helm.

Though Tennessee returns plenty of production and experience on the defensive line in 2023, Rodney Garner was quick to point out his position group still has some big shoes to fill moving toward next season. Easily the toughest player to replace up front for Garner and Tennessee is All-SEC edge rusher Byron Young, and one of the young players who could step into a bigger role is sophomore James Pearce Jr., the former Top247 prospect who played primarily special teams in 2022. The Vols have seen growth so far this offseason from the talented defender, but need to see it continue and for him and the rest of the players at the Leo position to show more playmaking and more consistency.
