What Florida Gators DEFENSE Will Look Like Under Jon Sumrall and Brad White

Florida Gators chart a bold course for the future, signaling a shift to a versatile 4-2-5 defensive front under Brad White and John Sumrall. With the departures of key players like Michai Boireau and the arrival of hybrid defenders such as Emmanuel Oyebadejo and DJ Coleman, the team’s recruiting reflects a push for flexibility up front and in the secondary. Can this reshaped unit adapt to the evolving demands of SEC competition?

Brandon Olsen breaks down the Gators’ strategic overhaul, from schematic adjustments in defensive line alignment to coverage matrices emphasizing more Cover 3, quarters, and man concepts. Key points include roster additions, changing responsibilities for edge rushers like Jayden Woods, and the impact of mixing field and boundary alignments. With a renewed commitment to adapting personnel and modern coverage schemes, is Florida poised to regain its defensive edge in 2026?
