Former Florida linebacker [autotag]David Reese[/autotag] is headed out west to play for the California Golden Bears in 2023, according to a joint Instagram party he made with the program Sunday.
Reese was an edge rusher for Florida who mostly played in a special teams role through five years with the program. He joined the team in 2018 and redshirted after playing in one game his freshman year. An injury took his second season away, and Year 3 ended early because of another. [autotag]Dan Mullen[/autotag] couldn’t figure out how to use him in 2021, but Reese finally saw steady action with [autotag]Billy Napier[/autotag] in 2022, playing in 12 games this year and lining up for 103 defensive line snaps.
He leaves Florida with nine total tackles (five solo) through 20 appearances.

Although Reese’s collegiate football career won’t end at Florida, he did manage to get a bachelor’s degree in Education Sciences in the spring of last year. That should come in handy during life after football, and Cal’s not a bad place to further one’s education either.
Reese will have one year of eligibility remaining with the Golden Bears.
