Diwun Black
Diwun Black came to Gainesville with plenty of promise. After originally committing to Florida in 2019 but failing to qualify to be able to enroll at Florida, Black was forced to go the JUCO route.
Two years later, Black emerged as the number one prospect out of JUCO and returned to UF last season.
Black was featured with decent regularity in the front half of the season before seeing his snap count dip during the back half.
Listed at 6-3, 223 pounds, Black has been praised by Napier’s staff for his pass coverage abilities and certainly has the build to hold up in that area.
