Florida Gators bolster their defensive front with Baylor transfer DK Kalu—can his untapped potential and two-gap experience reshape Florida’s run defense? Versatile at nose tackle and 3-tech, Kalu arrives with two years of eligibility and intriguing athletic traits but a modest stat sheet, raising questions about how Gerald Chatman’s coaching could unlock his full impact.

Brandon Olsen examines Kalu’s skillset, scheme fit, and why Florida fans should watch for improvements in gap-shooting and pass rush productivity. Key topics include Florida’s multiple defensive fronts, the significance of lighter nose tackles, and how poor coaching at Baylor may have held Kalu back. SwampSignal scouting insights and the upcoming matchup against Kentucky add depth to the conversation. Will DK Kalu rise under better coaching and give the Gators defensive line an edge in the SEC?
