Florida defensive end Brenton Cox has been dismissed from the team, head coach Billy Napier confirmed on Monday. Napier said Cox's dismissal was due to an accumulation of issues but did not get into specifics. Cox started all eight games for Florida this season, with 35 tackles, 8 tackles for loss and 2 sacks. He was named SEC Defensive lineman of the week in early September after recording 11 sacks in UF's season opener against Utah. A transfer from Georgia, Cox was emotionally charged in Florida's loss to the Bulldogs on Saturday. He threw a punch in the end zone after being horse-collared following Georgia's final touchdown of the game, a Kenny McIntosh touchdown run. 📖 more at GatorSports.com. ✍ by Kevin Brockway 📸 by Doug Engle #floridagators #gatorsfootball #floridafootball #brentoncox #billynapier #secfootball
