The Florida football program says goodbye to departing redshirt junior interior offensive lineman Kingsley Eguakun this offseason after an impressive tenure with the Gators over the past five years.
Following an injury-riddled 2023 campaign that limited the 6-foot-3-inch, 300-pound center to just four games totaling just 246 snaps, the Jacksonville product has decided to test the NFL draft waters this spring. It is worth noting that he earned his master’s in tourism and hospitality management last fall after earning a bachelor’s in criminology back in 2022.
Eguakun started all 13 games at center in both 2021 and 2022 while appearing in all 12 games of the 2020 season as a reserve offensive lineman and special teams contributor. He is also a four-time SEC Fall Academic Honor.
