Hours after landing 2017 linebacker Nick Smith, the Florida Gators added their second commitment of the weekend by getting a pledge from Louisiana defensive back Brad Stewart.
Florida safety Jeawon Taylor inadvertently broke the news of Stewart’s commitment with a tweet welcoming Stewart to DBU.
Stewart, currently on an official visit to Florida, quoted Taylor’s tweet, quietly announcing his own commitment...
...before making things a little clearer.
Stewart had been a long-time Florida lean despite being from the Pelican State, and was initially set to commit (to the Gators) in October, before delaying that decision indefinitely.
