College career edit
Ivie accepted a football scholarship from the University of Florida. He is the third generation in his family to attend the school in Gainesville. As a true freshman, he removed his redshirt status late in the season due to the team's depth issues, playing as a backup in three of the last five games.[2]
As a sophomore, Ivie made 24 tackles (3 for loss) and one sack as a backup. As a junior, he started five games, posting 27 tackles (four for loss) and 3.5 sacks.[3] As a junior, he appeared in four games and had 16 total tackles and one forced fumble.[4] As a senior, he started 10 out of 11 games (a broken thumb kept him out of two games), registering 26 tackles (3.5 for loss), 2.5 sacks and seven quarterback hurries.[5]
Ivie spent most of his college career as a nose tackle on a defensive line rotation that included talented players like Jonathan Bullard and Caleb Brantley.
