    Ja’Markis Weston is one of just two players still enrolled at the University of Florida from the Gators’ 2019 recruiting class. Brought in as a receiver under former head coach Dan Mullen, Weston has played four positions at UF, including wide receiver, safety, linebacker, and now edge.

    “It’s been an amazing journey,” Weston said on his career at UF. “I mean, I have no complaints. Going in day in, day out, working with my brothers, just being able to be here with them and being able to show them the ropes. Not self-serving, you know, being able to just bring everybody together as one.”

    Ja'Markis Weston is the type of player that all coaches live to recruit... He is the consummate TEAM PLAYER, and he's the type of young man that will do whatever the coaches want from him... he will play whichever position they need him to play. That's character... that's what coach Napier means when he uses the word character to describe a player. He's unselfish, and 100% all about his' brothers' on his Gators' team.

    I hope he gets meaningful time on the field this year. And I hope he gets drafted by a worthy NFL team after this season is said and done. He's the type of player and person that deserves to be rewarded for his hard work.

    I'm rooting for him to succeed...

    A great Gator! And such a contrast to some who've left or been shown the door.

    Gators need someone to get after the QB, just maybe Weston will be one of those guys.
