Overview:
It took three separate commitments to the Gators to finally get Kamar Wilcoxson to Gainesville, but the redshirt freshman is now in a position to compete at the STAR position for Dan Mullen‘s team.
Wilcoxson de-committed from Florida in both 2019 and 2020 in one of the wildest recruiting sagas in recent Gators history. He made his third and final pledge to the Gators after rethinking his Tennessee commitment. From that point on it was all UF for the four-star recruit.
Originally part of the 2021 recruiting class, Wilcoxson reclassified and joined Florida in the fall of 2020. Before redshirting in his freshman year, Wilcoxson appeared in the Missouri game, collecting a tackle and a fumble recovery.
Wilcoxson hinted at an apparent injury on Twitter a week before the 2021 season, which could keep him out for much of the year. He was expected to compete for time at the STAR position behind Tre’Vez Johnson, but it looks like Jadarrius Perkins will take that backup spot in his absence.
God gives his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers. I’ll be back stronger than ever 🤞🏾
