Florida lost another key member of the 2024 recruiting class on Sunday.
Four-star cornerback [autotag]Wardell Mack[/autotag] flipped his commitment from UF to Texas, according to On3’s Hayes Fawcett, who quotes Mack as “1000% committed.”
Mack’s flip comes one day after four-star edge rusher Jamonta Waller backed off his pledge to the Orange and Blue in favor of Auburn. Florida is at a low point, losing three straight games including a loss to Arkansas. But Mack said it was the coaching staff at Texas that ultimately made him flip.
The Gators are still at No. 4 in the 247Sports team recruiting rankings following Mack’s change of heart, but losing Waller did move them from the No. 3 spot.
Mack is a consensus four-star recruit, ranked highest by On3 at No. 53 overall in the class of 2024. The On3 consensus, which uses a weighted average of all four major recruiting services, puts him just outside the top 100 at No. 105 nationally. He’s also ranked No. 13 among cornerbacks in his class and No. 4 among recruits from Louisiana.
