Brenton Cox, a former 5-star Georgia signee who entered the NCAA Transfer Portal at the start of August, has enrolled at the University of Florida and will practice Friday, sources tell Swamp247.

Cox was on Florida's campus on Thursday to join the team officially after putting his name into the NCAA transfer portal earlier this week, which allowed other schools to contact and recruit him. He's been added to the official team roster.

As a freshman at UGA, Cox appeared in 13 of 14 games where he racked up 20 tackles, two tackles for a loss, a sack, and three pass breakups. He also got the start in the Allstate Sugar Bowl against Texas with D'Andre Walker out with an injury.

He was also one of six Georgia players to be arrested on misdemeanor charges since the 2019 season ended. Cox and fellow outside linebacker Robert Beal, a redshirt sophomore, were charged with possession of marijuana by the UGA Campus Police after a maintenance worker discovered cannabis in their dorm room and reported it.

Cox, who was once committed to Ohio State during the recruitment process but reopened his recruitment and later signed with the Bulldogs. He also used an official visit to Alabama as a recruit before signing his National Letter of Intent with UGA. He was ranked as nation's No. 23 overall prospect coming out of Stockbridge High School according to the 247Sports Composite. He finished that cycle as the No. 2 strong-side defensive end in the 2018 class and as the No. 5 player in Georgia.

He will need an NCAA waiver to be able to play at Florida in 2019, if not he will have to sit out a year at the school of his choice before being able to play on Saturdays again due to NCAA transfer rules. He will be able to practice with the team during fall camp and the reminder of the season despite not being able to play unless that mentioned waiver is grated.
