Coach Meyer and his staff got another big-time commitment today out of Lakeland's John Brown, a Scout.com 5-star DT ranked #5 at his position. Rivals has Brown listed as a 4-star recruit.
Joining 6 of his high school teammates on the Gators commit list, Brown only adds to an already impressive defensive line recruiting class. Earlier in the recruiting season the Gators got commitments from DE Carlos Dunlap, DE Justin Trattou and DT Torrey Davis -- all 4 and 5 star recruits.
The addition of Brown eases the loss of Sidell Corley for this class as well. Corley de-commited from Florida last week near the same time that Trattou committed. This announcement from Brown came at a pretty good time for this staff.
Welcome to Gainesville Mr. Brown!
By the way, keep your eye on the recruiting sites for stories regarding WRs Deonte Thompson and Terrance Toliver, CB/WR/Ath Ronald Johnson and LB Allen Bailey. All of these guys have Florida on their radar and should be announcing their intentions soon.
