#40 Brandon T. Siler of Daytona Beach, Florida played linebacker under Ron Zook and Urban Meyer from 2004 to 2006. He made an immediate impact his freshman year and was named to the freshman All-SEC team. Brandon continued to excel in his sophomore year under Urban Meyer, especially in fumble recoveries (7). In his junior year his work ethic and on-field leadership were pivotal to the Gators going 13-1 and winning their second national championship. Brandon was named 2nd team All-SEC, and 3rd team All-American, and #1 linebacker named Brandon…until it was Mr. Spike’s turn (see “51 Days Until Gator Football…”).
