Florida DE Jabari Zuniga hits freshman sack milestone just five games into 2016
Jabari Zuniga has wasted little time making his presence felt at Florida.
Notable: #Gators DE Jabari Zuniga first UF freshman to have five sacks in a season since Huey Richardson in 1987.

The most impressive part of that stat? Zuniga needed only five games to reach the milestone.
After redshirting in 2015, the defensive end has already become one of the best pass rusher not only in the SEC, but in the country. He’s tied for 12th nationally with five sacks and has been a key cog in the Gators’ stout defensive front.
Zuniga will likely have to play a bigger role as No. 18 Florida prepares to face LSU with a decimated defensive front. The Gators and Tigers will meet in the Swamp at 12 p.m. ET Saturday.
