Florida's 2015 secondary is already being hailed as one of the best in the country, led by All-American cornerback Vernon Hargreaves III. The Gators are locked in a fierce debate with the LSU Tigers about who gets the title of "DBU," or Defensive Back University.

But where does this year's unit stack up to Florida secondaries from the past 10 years? There have been some good ones, so today GatorBait.net takes a stab at ranking the Gators secondaries over the past decade.

Ranking UF's Secondaries of the Last Decade

* * * * *

10. (2007) Joe Haden, Wondy Pierre-Louis, Jacques Rickerson, Major Wright, Tony Joiner

There was a lot of talent on this unit, with two future NFL players suiting up as freshmen in Haden and Wright. Still, there wasn't a whole lot of depth, and Florida was torched in a handful of games, most notably Kentucky and Michigan.

9. (2011) Marcus Roberson, Cody Riggs, Pop Saunders, Matt Elam, Josh Evans

Will Muschamp's inaugural unit had a lot of young promise, but it was still a bit of a work in progress. This ranking feels low, but a lot of these players weren't yet in their primes in 2011.

8. (2014) Vernon Hargreaves III, Jalen Tabor, Brian Poole, Keanu Neal, Jabari Gorman

This ranking feels criminally low considering many of the players that made it up are the same ones most are hailing as one of the top units in the country in 2015. But Florida had some major problems early in the year, and those can't be overlooked.

7. (2010) Janoris Jenkins, Jeremy Brown, Moses Jenkins, Ahmad Black, Will Hill

One of the best safety tandems on the list, plus a lockdown cornerback in Janoris Jenkins. Brown was a decent starter, but Florida ran into depth problems with its third cornerback, and Moses Jenkins had a few forgettable games.

6. (2006) Ryan Smith, Reggie Lewis, Tony Joiner, Reggie Nelson

The only group that played almost exclusively four players, Florida had a pair of solid but unspectacular cornerbacks. Both made plays, and when they didn't "The Eraser" was there to clean things up.

5. (2013) Marcus Roberson, Loucheiz Purifoy, Vernon Hargreaves III, Jaylen Watkins, Cody Riggs

This was a very good all-around unit, with really no obvious weak spot. The safeties weren't outstanding, but the cornerbacks were very strong and helped make up for it with a lot of depth thanks to a young Hargreaves.

4. (2015) Vernon Hargreaves III, Quincy Wilson/Jalen Tabor, Brian Poole, Keanu Neal, Marcus Maye

This group has a lot to prove still, but it returns virtually everyone from a unit that was playing very, very good football at the end of the year. As deep as it is, it's hard to see this unit not panning out well.

3. (2012) Marcus Roberson, Loucheiz Purifoy, Jaylen Watkins, Matt Elam, Josh Evans

Littered with NFL talent, the 2012 secondary helped carry Florida to a Sugar Bowl behind the excellent play-making of Elam and a pair of lockdown corners in Purifoy and Roberson.

2. (2008) Janoris Jenkins, Joe Haden, Wondy Pierre-Louis, Major Wright, Ahmad Black

A couple stud NFL cornerbacks, an NFL safety in Wright and one of college's best playmakers alongside him in Black. It doesn't get much better than this, unless of course they all returned with another year of experience the following season.

1. (2009) Janoris Jenkins, Joe Haden, Wondy Pierre-Louis, Major Wright, Ahmad Black

Haden and Jenkins in their collegiate primes, Black and Wright hitting full stride. It simply doesn't get any better than this in the secondary, where the best you could hope for was to pick on a pretty decent nickelback. It's hard to envision any unit topping this one.
