Five-star defensive lineman and Florida commit may not sign on early signing day

McCray, a five-star defensive lineman and one of the top 10 players in the upcoming class, may not make his commitment to Florida official.

Defensive lineman LJ McCray, who is currently 247Sports’ No. 2 defensive lineman in the Class of 2024 and the No. 6 overall player, may not put pen to paper on Early Signing Day on Wednesday.

On3 reported that McCray described it as a “high possibility” that he doesn’t sign on Wednesday.

The defensive lineman, who plays for Mainland High School in Daytona Beach, Florida, committed to Florida on October 21. He’s the second-highest recruit in the Gators class.

McCray has visited Florida State and Auburn over the past few weeks, but On3’s report did not elaborate on whether McCray’s commitment to Florida was wavering at all. The Gators have lost four players of four stars or higher over the past month, including five-star safety Xavier Filsaime who flipped to Texas on Monday.
