Florida football recruiting: 2022 LB E.J. Lightsey commits to Gators

The Florida Gators have provided fans with plenty of frustrations on the recruiting trail under Dan Mullen, whose overall strategy, bedside manner, and retinue of assistant coaches all routinely come in for criticism.

But one constant for the Gators since Mullen’s arrival has been a flow of talented linebackers into the program, thanks largely to linebackers coach Christian Robinson — and 2022 linebacker E.J. Lightsey of Georgia committing to Florida on Monday only continues that trend.

Lightsey revealed his commitment just before noon on Twitter, via a video produced in partnership with the Sports Illustrated team site AllGators.
