Florida football earned a commitment from a highly regarded three-star JUCO recruit on Monday afternoon, bolstering its efforts in restocking the roster after a disappointing season.
Defensive lineman [autotag]Brien Taylor[/autotag] announced his commitment to the Orange and Blue with the help of national recruiting expert Hayes Fawcett, who posted the news on X. Included in the post is a good-looking graphic of Taylor donning Florida’s new blackout jerseys with an interesting caption, mentioning how the Gators are essentially starting over.
“The whole town is invested into Gator football, and I’m ready to contribute to a rebuild,” Taylor said.
Taylor isn’t necessarily taking shots at the UF program, but showing that he’s willing to give it all when it comes to bringing the Gators back to the standard that Florida fans have come to know.
