    Awesome Gator. He will be missed but my first thought is that we'll be OK at linebacker. Time will tell. At least he is going to the NFL and not LSU.

    Thank you for your time and for ALWAYS representing The Orange and Blue. A game that showed what Shemar James is all about was that debacle up in Lexington Sep 2023. Our defense was a shambles that day and got continually gashed. Shemar James played his ass off while we were down. THAT is Pride!!!

    Our LB room can absorb the loss. My man Myles Graham #5 is The Real Deal and is READY to lead the room.

    Another member of the church I attend who teaches/coaches at Woodward Academy tracked me down the Sunday after Graham committed to the Gators. His comment, “Not only is he one of the best HS football players I’ve ever seen, he also has a rare and inspiring character. You all are getting a great player, and more importantly, a great person.”

    He came to the Gators during a low point and played his ass off. He may have upped his draft stock with another year but at LB, he could also get hurt.

    Good decision - Hope he tears it up in the league.

    We hate to see great Gators leave, but we also need to show we can coach up the talent.
