Brandon Spikes vs. Wilbur Marshall

[Mr2Bits]

Wilbur Marshall is arguably the best linebacker in UF history. I was curious about how Brandon Spikes stacks up to Marshall.

Marshall was more of a pass rusher, he had 23 sacks at Florida. But both are comparable in their tackle numbers. Both are two-time All Americans, but Marshall was named Defensive Player of the Year. Spikes also has two national championships ...

How do you think the two compare? Could we one day see Spikes name in the ring of honor alongside Marshall ?

definitely both are great and spikes will be alongside marshall in the ring of honor, but in different aspects it all depends on what's more valuable what player does as an individual or as a team player. Marshall was a team leader and everything but he mostly carried the defense on his back and racked up stats, Spikes is more of a better leader doesn't have all those stats even though tackles is comparable and helps lead a defense to 2 national championships and soon a 3rd one hopefully. but eitherway both have there strengths and weaknesses but I personally like spikes more cuz hes more in my time frame I didnt become a gator fan til 2001 and anyways marshall is from the 80s

I know Marshall had a good NFL career with Da Bears a part of the QB killing 46 D and Washington. Honestly I don't know I think Spikes would be a good NFL LB who knows?
