Florida Gators Football Recruiting: Zachary Carter Update

The Florida Gators suffered a significant setback when four-star defensive tackle Fred Hansard spurned Jim McElwain for the Penn State Nittany Lions. It wasn’t exactly the end of days, but it was a disappointing turn of events.

The Gators could be getting some good news from another commit in four-star defensive end Zachary L. Carter.

Carter is one of the most highly-touted recruits in McElwain’s 2017 recruiting class. He still has to sign his letter of intent, but Gators fans have been optimistic that he’ll remain true to his word and call Gainesville home.

In a recent post to his official Twitter account, Carter announced that he has a surprise coming—a tweet that included a gator emoji.
