Florida football made its first big splash in the NCAA transfer portal on Sunday when three-star offensive lineman [autotag]Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson[/autotag], who has spent the past five years with the San Diego State Aztecs, committed to the Orange and Blue per a post on his personal Twitter account.
The 6-foot-6-inch, 310-pound behemoth played 37 games in SoCal and was looking to spend his final year of eligibility somewhere he could make his mark. Crenshaw-Dickson will not only bring size but experience to Florida’s O-line.
As a sophomore, he made 14 starts at right tackle taking 932 of the team’s 967 offensive snaps while allowing just one sack in 403 passing chances. He then switched to left tackle in his junior campaign, starting in 12 of the 13 games he appeared in. His senior season saw him play on both sides of the line making 10 starts out of 12 appearances, playing in a mix of left and right tackle.
That versatility has been one of his calling cards as a transfer prospect. Additionally, he was listed as the 50th draft-eligible offensive tackle by Phil Steele Magazine following his senior season.
The Golden State product had also visited the Texas Christian Horned Frogs, Louisville Cardinals and Virginia Tech Hokies since entering the portal on Nov. 29.
