Florida football: September report cards for Gators defensive players

Like Jason Marshall, Kimber has been mostly solid on the backend of the Gators’ secondary. Stat wise he has only been forced to make two tackles so far.

Kimber was the man beat in the Kentucky game by Will Levis’ deep bomb, but it’s hard to put too much blame on Kimber. He’s playing with a cast on one arm and was in a good position for coverage. The Kentucky receiver just made a great catch and that was that.

Kimber also elevates his grade thanks to his pick-six against USF. He had perfect technique on the play, waiting for the USF player to make his break for a slant route before exploding to the ball for the interception.

Without Kimber’s pick-six, Florida might have lost the Bulls.
