Florida and running back coach Greg Knox plan to sign two tailbacks this recruiting cycle. They secured one this weekend when four-star Terrance Gibbs announced his commitment to the Gators. For their second running back, they have turned their attention to three-star Jaylon Glover. He spent the weekend visiting the Swamp before he announces his commitment on Aug. 6.
He said this visit was different from the one he took in June because he was able to get a more in-depth look at the program. Glover enjoyed the time he got to spend with Knox and head coach Dan Mullen. However, for most of the visit, the coaching staff pitched that Florida would develop him on and off the field.

“I definitely learned that they are the No. 6 public school in the nation,” Glover said, according to Swamp247. “I needed to know because I didn’t learn that before. Facilities wise, buildings wise, definitely seeing the new building was real unique because I didn’t see anything before. I heard about the prototype but never got to see it in person so that was cool.”
The Gators also emphasized and ensured Glover understood their plans to take two running backs. He said he was able to meet Gibbs and start developing a relationship with him.
Glover will make his commitment public this Friday, and Florida currently sits in a good spot to earn his pledge.
“I mean it’s Florida man,” he said. “Obviously you got a good tradition of winning. You know you’re going to be playing for a championship every year. Then academically you can’t go wrong.”
