There’s no single spot where the Florida Gators need to do more stocking up with their 2020 recruiting class than the interior of the defensive line — and they know it.
And what’s more, they have acted like it, focusing on the line and building a formidable crop of tackles. Thursday night’s somewhat surprising commitment of four-star DT Jalen Lee only solidifies the Gators’ haul of space-eaters as one of the nation’s best.
Lee, who hails from Watson, Louisiana — a tiny, unincorporated town in the Baton Rouge metropolitan area — was considered a LSU lean by most Florida fans prior to his commitment, despite long giving the Gators the time of day.
