“I still have a whole ‘nother year here, so I don’t plan on leaving.” Trask spoke confidently about the decision, so don’t expect any change here.

The nod marks Greenard’s second consecutive SEC Defensive Player of the Week selection, while he was also named the Walter Camp National FBS Defensive Player of the Week on Sunday.
Greenard posted a team-high six tackles, including five tackles for a loss of 23 yards, and two sacks for a loss of 12 yards in Saturday’s win over the Tigers to conclude the SEC slate. Greenard’s five tackles for loss marked the most by a Gator in a game since 2000.
