Solid project. He's pretty damn athletic but only weighs 255 lbs or so. Will be interesting to see how he develops.

Fine by me as long as he is not expected to play for 2 years.

looks like a good project for the next couple of years but he is going to need to eat some sandwiches or move to TE.

Good pick up. UT beat UF head to head on this one. Mac was recruiting him I believe depending on what sites you follow.

You know UF likes them 3* OL... just look at the roster.

UF really needs another tackle in this class, will be interesting to see who they pick up now since they have been so high on Tatum for so long.

Thanks for the feedback Gator fans, sounds like a solid pick up.

Nice to have depth at OL for once and hopefully not have to play a true freshman OL next year for the first time in years.

We were on him hard earlier, but he seemed set on Florida. He seems like a good kid and I know some of our recruiting guys were big on his talent. Good pickup Tenner!

UF wanted him, recruited him the whole time. Not sure where he was on the board or how much of a priority he truly was. I do know he was a take. UFs plan was to RS and put weight on him, then he'd probably be a starter by his 3rd year on campus.

He has great feet right now, which you can't coach. Nice get TN fans.

Apparently, he was VERY high on TN and UF's boards. He's widely considered to be the best OL prospect in Florida this year. He's a **** on ESPN and Scout, so he's by no means a lower profile prospect.

Our new tight end coach, Larry Scott (Formerly of Miami), sealed the deal here. He would 100% be committed to UF, if Butch didn't add him to our staff.
