Florida football recruiting: 2020 DT Jalen Lee commits, adds to Gators’ formidable DL class

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.
