Pair of praised Palmetto prep players sign with Florida Gators

Florida Gators football welcomes two blue-chip prospects from Palmetto High School: cornerback Jason Marshall Jr. and safety Corey Collier.

Florida has officially welcomed two blue-chip prospects from Palmetto High School in Miami on Wednesday, as cornerback Jason Marshall Jr. and safety Corey Collier signed their National Letters of Intent to play for the Gators.

Marshall is a five-star recruit and the No. 27 overall player in the nation, according to the 247Sports Composite. He’s the nation’s second-best corner, and at 6-foot-2-inches, 180 pounds, he has prototypical size for the position. He has excellent ball skills and athleticism, as he snagged five interceptions and broke up 15 passes as a junior.

Given Florida’s struggles at the corner position this season and depth question marks behind incumbent starter Kaiir Elam, Marshall has the chance to contribute immediately in a secondary starving for difference-makers.

NEXT: Corey Collier
