The Florida Gators football team has been through the ringer both on the field and on the recruiting trails. Eight starters were injured in 2016 and coveted recruit Fred Hansard spurned Florida for the Penn State Nittany Lions.
With Florida in need of depth and potential along the defensive line, head coach Jim McElwain is turning his attention to three-star recruit Alec Jackson.
Jackson is a versatile defensive lineman out of Jefferson Davis High School in Montgomery, Alabama. He’s received scholarship offers from the likes of the Alabama Crimson Tide, Auburn Tigers, Nebraska Cornhuskers, Tennessee Volunteers, and Texas Longhorns.
