Florida added to their 2021 class on Friday afternoon when Florida State commit Jake Slaughter announced that he’s “always known that [he] was a Gator.” The Trinity Catholic senior announced his de-commitment from FSU and his commitment to the Gators via Twitter.

With Slaughter, the Gators add further depth and size to their offensive line. The Center checks in at 6’4″ and weighs an even 300 pounds. Staying close to home was a big factor for the Ocala native and Florida offered the best combination of proximity, opportunity, and education.

Slaughter is rated as the 89th overall recruit in the state of Florida and holds a 247Sports composite score of 0.8654. Credited with pulling him away from the Seminoles are coaches, John Hevesy and Christian Robinson. In addition to offers from FSU and the Gators, Slaughter had received offers from twenty-one other programs, including Auburn and Arkansas.

As we get closer to fall, Florida seems to be picking up momentum on the trail. Another piece of the recruiting puzzle has been put into place and things are looking good for the Gators.
