Cory Bailey’s ball-hawking Florida secondary value
In his Florida career, Cory Bailey was a reliable defensive back who built a reputation for range, instincts, and playmaking in nickel and safety roles, finishing with 137 career tackles and 21 big plays, including 12 pass breakups, four interceptions, three fumble recoveries, and two sacks[3]. He also brought veteran versatility and toughness, starting in the secondary as a senior after working through years of rotational duty, with past injury disruption in high school but enough resilience to become a full-time contributor for the Gators[3][7].
