Sumrall hires Kentucky's White as Florida DC

Key Highlights

• Sumrall and White overlapped on that side of the ball between 2019 and 2021, including working their final year together as co-DCs.
• Sumrall left Kentucky to become Troy's coach in 2022 and spent the past two years at Tulane. Under White's direction, Kentucky fielded defenses that ranked in the top 25 nationally in 2018, 2019, 2021 and 2022.
• His unit ranked sixth nationally in 2018 thanks in part to edge rusher Josh Hines-Allen.
• Hines-Allen recorded 17 sacks and five forced fumbles as a redshirt junior. He went on to become the seventh pick by Jacksonville in the 2019 NFL draft and now owns the franchise's sacks record with 59 and counting."First of all, they're getting a great person, a great communicator, a guy that wants the best for his players," Hines-Allen said.
• "He was my positional coach when I had him, and the time we spent together helped me develop and be where I am today.
