The Greatest Gators by Jersey Number: #94 – Jarvis Moss

#94 – Jarvis Moss, DE (2003-06)

Moss came to Florida with enormous expectations that after his first few seasons, many thought he would not live up to. Fortunately for Gator fans, he more than made a name for himself over the course of his final two years in orange and blue.

In 2005 and 2006, Moss racked up 15 sacks. He took down Heisman Trophy winner Troy Smith twice during the 2006 national title game, but the play everyone will always remember came weeks earlier when Moss blocked what would have been a game-winning field goal against South Carolina. If you don’t think I’ll be telling my grandkids about being at that game one day, you’re out of your damn mind!

Last Year’s Pick: Moss
Notables: Ed Chester, DT (1994-98)

Current Gator: Justin Trattou, DE

Trattou has quietly put together a solid career at Florida. He’s never been spectacular, but you can’t discount the depth he has provided. With a star-studded defensive end unit, it seems improbable for Trattou to stake his claim as the greatest to ever wear #94 (after all, there’s no way I’m removing Moss from the top spot), but with two years left, he could definitely move to notable status.
