The redshirt junior has accounted for 16 total tackles, 2 sacks, those two from this weekend against UAB and 1 forced fumble.
Gant suffered a shoulder injury that sidelined him for some time before the season, but he says he's back and he's better.
"In fall camp, we did a lot of banging. I had my doubts in fall camp, like going into fall camp but once I got through fall camp I was ok. Now, I know I'm ready and now I know my shoulder is fully prepared to go on and play a full season."
