Florida's 2009 Prized Recruit, DT Gary Brown, lands behind bars
Florida DT Gary Brown does not know how to celebrate Valentine’s Day. The 19 year old apparently had a bit of cupid’s rage on Sunday. According to the Alachua County Jail records, Brown struck two women who were trying to kick people out of a house party. Brown’s first slap landed smack on one woman’s face and the other slap landed on the other woman’s arm causing minor scratches. As a result of his extra-curricular activities, Brown was arrested and charged with two counts of misdemeanor battery.
This is disappointing news for the Gator nation as Brown was the #2 DT coming out of high school in 2009. He redshirt his freshman year to improve his chances of earning a spot on the Gator’s starting line-up. However, he took a huge step backwards after he was arrested by Alachua police.
Upon hearing of this news, the Gators suspended Brown indefinitely from all team activities. The suspension should come to no surprise as the Gators have been dealing with several off the field issues during the Meyer era. The school is trying to set an example to the players to rebuild this tainted reputation.
