How Will the Gators Replace Brenton Cox at JACK Edge Rusher? (CalBearsMaven)

Following the dismissal of Edge rusher Brenton Cox Jr., Who on the Gators defense can step up and fill the gap in the pass rush unit?

The JACK edge rushers and defensive ends will certainly have to take on the extra responsibility. Umanmielen and Boone currently split duties at the defensive end opposite Gervon Dexter's spot, and their ability to affect the passer could lead to snaps at JACK, at least for one of them while the other steps up at defensive end. Despite his two percent lesser pass rush productivity rate than Cox on the year, Powell-Ryland has a 2.7 percent higher rate of physically affecting the quarterback in pass-rushing scenarios. There's a good chance he capitalizes on the task at hand. Powell-Ryland is now projected to sit atop the depth chart for the JACK position in the Gators' defense as he has manned the No. Fortunately for UF, there are a few candidates to fill the gap at JACK edge rusher and reap the benefits for themselves.
