DE-Jabari Zuniga

This redshirt senior finished second on the team with 11.0 tackles-for-loss, six and a half sacks and four quarterback hurries last season.

He is a reliable DE that will cause havoc in any backfield. He is poised to be a force this year as he has earned Preseason All-SEC football second team.

Being in the second year with defensive coordinator Todd Grantham he is sure to be a lot more aggressive. As Zuniga states:

"“Definitely [going to be] aggressive. Coach Grantham emphasizes pressure on the quarterback,” Zuniga said."

This is what makes him a key in the game against Miami, He can cause so much of a distraction in the backfield. Seemingly that pressure puts the young Miami quarterback in a bad position which can lead to mistakes.
