Godfrey was an Honorable Mention All American linebacker as a junior in 1989, but found new life as a hybrid safety/linebacker under defensive coordinator Jim Bates, where he was named team captain and Second-team All-SEC in 1990.
#97 Michael Brandon was a standout defensive lineman for the Gators from 1990-1991. Injuries hampered his production, but he was productive when healthy.

#95 Raymondo Antoine "Ray" McDonald of Pahokee, Florida was a defensive lineman for Ron Zook and Urban Meyer from 2003-2006, and was the unsung hero of the defensive line during the Gators march to the 2006 national title. While Derrick Harvey and Jarvis Moss were getting sacks, McDonald was occupying interior offensive linemen. Moss had the most famous block in the South Carolina game in 2006, but McDonald also blocked a field goal attempt earlier in the contest. Ray was team captain during the National Championship season, and was All-SEC that year. The San Francisco 49ers selected Ray in the 3rd round of the 2007 NFL Draft. Trivia: McDonald's father, Ray McDonald, Sr., was a four-year Letterman for the Florida Gators from 1982 to 1985 and was a standout wide receiver on the 1985 Gators team that finished 9–1–1.
#94 Jarvis Jaray Moss of Denton, Texas played defensive end for Ron Zook and Urban Meyer from 2003-2006. He came to Gainesville from Denton, Texas after being in the U.S. Army All-American Bowl and Parade All American. In 2005 and 2006, Moss racked up 15 sacks. He sacked Ohio State quarterback Troy Smith twice during the national title game, but the play everyone will remember came weeks earlier when Moss blocked what would have been a game-winning field goal with 8 seconds left against South Carolina. UF would go on to win the game 17-16. Moss also blocked an extra point earlier in the game in a play known as "The Cock Block". Jarvis was named First Team All-American in 2006 and was selected by the Denver Broncos with pick #17 of the 2007 NFL Draft.
#93 Raymond Lester "Trace" Armstrong III of Bethesda, Maryland and Birmingham, Alabama, transferred to the University of Florida from Arizona State and played his final college season for coach Galen Hall's Florida Gators football team in 1988. He was recognized as a first-team All-Southeastern Conference (SEC) selection and a first-team All-American at defensive tackle. He set a new Gators single-season record for most tackles for a loss with nineteen, including seven sacks. In all, Armstrong made fifty-nine tackles with forty-one of those solo. Armstrong ended his college career with 169 tackles, including thirty-two tackles for losses and fifteen quarterback sacks. He graduated from the University of Florida with a bachelor's degree in liberal arts in 1989, and returned to earn a master's degree in business administration in 2006.

Before retiring from football in 2003, he was named to the Pro Bowl and Second-team All-Pro team in 2000. At the time of his retirement he was 16th all-time in sacks! He was also president of the NFL Players Association from 1996-2003.
#92 Reginald Gerard "Reggie" McGrew of Mayo, Florida played defensive tackle for Steve Spurrier from 1995-1998. Reggie was a key contributor to the 1996 Bowl Alliance championship team, including being the only redshirt freshman on a defense anchored by fellow Gators Jevon Kearse, Mike Petersen, James Bates. He went on to become a 1st-round NFL draft pick, pick #24 to the San Francisco 49ers after being named All-SEC in 1998.
#91 Derrick Harvey of Greenbelt, Maryland was a defensive end for Urban Meyer's Florida Gators from 2004 to 2007. He came to Gainesville as a Parade All American, and he did not fail to meet lofty expectations. After being redshirted in 2004 so he could bulk up to 230 pounds, he erupted on the field with veterans Ray McDonald and Jarvis Moss. In 2006, Harvey was named second-team All-SEC while he split playing time with McDonald. In his redshirt sophomore campaign he recorded 11 sacks, including 3 against Ohio State in the national championship game in which he was named Defensive MVP. Team captain Derrick Harvey only notched 8.5 sacks and 17 TFL (10th best season TFL in Gator history) in his redshirt junior year of 2007, but he was still named second-team All-SEC. He ranks 9th all-time with 20.5 career sacks and 3rd all-time with 51.5 TFL. He was selected by the Jacksonville Jaguars with pick #8 in the 2008 NFL Draft.
#90 Huey L. Richardson, Jr of Atlanta, Georgia played defensive end for Galen Hall and Steve Spurrier from 1987 to 1990, and was regarded as one of the quickest players off the line. Richardson was a first-team All-Southeastern Conference (SEC) selection in 1989 and 1990, a first-team All-American in 1990, senior team captain in 1990, and SEC Academic Honor Roll all four years. Huey graduated in 1990 with a bachelor of arts degree in economics, and earned an NCAA post-graduate scholarship. At the end of his four years as a Gator, he totaled 26.5 quarterback sacks and 50.5 tackles for a loss, still third and fourth, respectively, on the Gators’ all-time record lists. He was a first round draft pick (#15) for the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1991. Despite his great skills, he was not a good fit for the Steeler 3-4 defense and he did not adjust well to being moved from defensive end to inside linebacker. Between 1990 and 1992 he played for the Washington Redskins and the New York Jets before returning home to Atlanta. Huey returned to college and earned his master's degree in business administration from Emory University in Atlanta, and went on to become a financial advisor for Merrill Lynch. He was named to the University of Florida Athletic Association Hall of Fame in 2003.
