Florida Gators fans and coaches breathed a collective sigh of relief as Diwun Black finally made his way onto campus last week to enroll for the Summer A semester.
Black likely felt a weight lifted off of his shoulders as well with a dream several years in the making finally becoming reality. Very few players forced to take the JUCO route ultimately find their way back to their original school, but Black set out on a mission to be a Gator, and that is exactly what he did.
Now that he is in Gainesville, real preparations for a role in Florida’s defense can officially be made. At 6-4, 225, Black is one of the most intriguing new players on the roster. It is easy to picture him earning significant playing time early in his career.
