The defending national champion Florida Gators will be hard pressed to match the defensive effort of their championship season. Gone are five of the top six defensive linemen on the roster and in their place a bunch of young guys that are hungry to get on the field. True freshman Duke Lemmens saw action early and often on Saturday and played well while he was in there at both defensive end and defensive tackle.
All the way from California, Lemmens didn’t practice for the first week of the fall while he recovered from a shoulder injury. He is working hard now and talks about it in this exclusive interview with Gator Country.
