**Gators’ Defensive Lineman Brendan Bett to Miss Time After Spitting Incident**

**GAINESVILLE, FL –** Florida Gators defensive lineman Brendan Bett will be sidelined for an unspecified period after spitting on an opposing player during last week’s loss to the University of South Florida, according to Head Coach Billy Napier. Napier confirmed the disciplinary action during an interview with SEC Nation on Saturday.

The incident, which led to Bett’s ejection from the game during USF’s game-winning drive, has drawn significant attention. Following the game, Bett issued a public apology on social media, expressing remorse for his actions and offering a direct apology to USF player Cole Skinner.

“I was impressed with the way he handled it,” Napier said, referencing Bett’s apology to the team and public statement. “He apologized to the team. He even went to the point of making a public statement… It was an out-of-character moment for him, and one I’m hopeful that he can learn from him, but our entire team can learn from.”

While Napier emphasized that the specific details of Bett’s punishment will remain internal, he confirmed that the defensive lineman would “miss a little bit of time.”

The timing of Bett’s suspension adds another challenge for the Gators after their disappointing 18-16 loss to USF.
