2023 Florida Football Position Preview: Defensive Tackles

Florida lost Gervon Dexter to the NFL in April, but a pair of transfer tackles are set to take over Florida’s interior defensive line.

Florida’s defensive line will be another unit that relies heavily on transfer talent this season.

Both starting tackles — Cam Jackson and Caleb Banks — are in their first year with the program, meaning two new faces on the interior, and there’s a considerable amount of depth behind them. Nearly every Gators fan is rooting for big Desmond Watson to get on the field, and the first and second-year players that were recruited by Napier are, of course, the future of the program.

There tends to be a lot of shifting and rotating in the trenches, so it’s hard to pinpoint exactly what it means to start, but we’ve identified the top players in the position room and created a rough depth chart to work off as the season begins.

Here’s a look at every defensive tackle on Florida’s 2023 fall roster.
