Pac-12 suitor reportedly emerges for Florida transfer LB Mohamoud Diabate

Florida LB Mohamoud Diabate recently entered the transfer portal as the Gators transitioned from Dan Mullen to Billy Napier as head coach.

Now, as Diabate explores his options, a Pac-12 suitor has reportedly emerged as a potential landing spot.

According to Matt Zenitz of On3 Sports, keep an eye on the Utah Utes as a potential destination for the talented linebacker:

That would certainly be an interesting landing spot for Diabate, as Zenitz notes the Gators host the Utes to start the 2022 season:

In 2021, Diabate recorded 89 tackles (2.5 for a loss). That led the Gators, 1 ahead of Trey Dean and 2 ahead of Rashad Torrence.
