The third day of Southeastern Conference media days took place at the Grand Hyatt in Nashville, Tennessee on Wednesday.
Junior cornerback Jason Marshall Jr. represented Florida at media days on Wednesday.
Marshall Jr. started at cornerback in 13 games for the Gators in 2022. He recorded one interception, nine pass deflections, 29 tackles and one tackle for a loss last season.
Marshall Jr. discussed preparing for and competing against Tennessee’s offense under head coach Josh Heupel.
“Their offense is difficult,” Marshall Jr. said. “How split out wide their receivers are, they really space the field out. It kind of makes my job somewhat hard, makes the safeties’ job somewhat hard, then their fast tempo.
“That week preparing for the game, we work on fast tempo, getting our wind and things like that.”
Tennessee defeated the Gators, 38-33, at Neyland Stadium in 2022. Marshall Jr. recorded one tackle versus Tennessee in the contest.
Florida will host the Vols on Sept. 16 at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. Kickoff is slated for 7 p.m. EDT and ESPN will televise the SEC East matchup.
