The Florida Gators brought a familiar face home to coach on Dan Mullen's staff in 2019. The Gators announced that they have hired former Washington Redskins defensive backs coach Torrian Gray to coach cornerbacks. Gray coached at Florida on Jim McElwain's staff in 2016 before leaving for a job with the Redskins.

A 19-year coaching veteran, Gray has spent the majority of his time at the college level after a long stint at Virginia Tech from 2006-15. A Lakeland native, Gray took the Florida job in 2016 originally to get closer to home.

"This was simply a career opportunity and chance to return home to my Florida roots that my family couldn’t pass up," Gray said at the time.

Of course, when the NFL came calling, Gray sensed another opportunity he had to explore. Now, though, he's happy to get the chance to return to Gainesville.

He has an extremely impressive track record, having coached the likes of Kam Chancellor, Brandon Flowers, Victor Harris, Jayron Hosley, Kyle Fuller and Kendall Fuller at Virginia Tech, along with Jalen Tabor and Quincy Wilson at Florida.

He'll get the chance to work with more future studs at Florida, with cornerbacks CJ Henderson and Marco Wilson two of the Southeastern Conference's best and Trey Dean emerging as a potential future star as a true freshman in 2018.

The hire had social media buzzing for most of the afternoon. Swamp247 looks at some of the top reactions to the newest hire in Gainesville.
