Veteran Florida LB Derek Wingo brings versatility, toughness, and steady production
Derek Wingo is a seasoned Florida linebacker whose value goes beyond box-score splash: in the 2024 season, he appeared in all 13 games and finished with 12 tackles, 0.5 sack, a quarterback hurry, and a pass breakup[6][1]. A former 4-star recruit, he’s praised for athleticism and flexibility, and Florida has used him both at linebacker and on special teams, which speaks to his reliability and team-first edge[6][8]. He’s not a one-stat headline machine, but he’s the kind of experienced, physical fit coaches love when they want consistency, versatility, and someone who’s been through the fire[4][10].
