Florida has certainly been on a recruiting hot streak as of late and that streak continued on Friday night when Mordecai McDaniel pledged his commitment to the Gators. Although originally committed to the University of Tennessee, the St. John’s College High School star broke hearts on Rocky Top when he decommitted and chose one of the Volunteer’s most hated rivals instead.
Though I really appreciate everything that Tennessee have offered me. I must follow my heart ♥️ and with that being said …I would like to say that I will be attending the University of Florida 🐊 #GoGators pic.twitter.com/l9S1pLap2v

The 6’1″ 195-pound cornerback is currently rated as a four-star prospect by 247Sports and boasts a 0.8946 composite rating with the popular recruiting site. Coach Torrian Gray secured the commitment over a myriad of programs vying for McDaniel’s services, such as aforementioned Tennessee, Notre Dame, Michigan, and Alabama.
The DC native had visited Gainesville in April but remained in contact with Coach Gray ever since. McDaniel is currently the 24th ranked player at his position, although 247Sports is much higher on his value, rating him as the 15th best cornerback in the cycle. With early signing day approaching, the Gators are scratching at the door to a top-five recruiting class. Florida is currently ranked sixth in the recruiting rankings.
