Jim McElwain and the Florida Gators already have 15 commits in the class of 2016 and they’re starting to build a pretty solid recruiting board for the class of 2017.
On Friday night, after the Gators football camp ended, receivers coach Kerry Dixon, offensive coordinator Doug Nussmeier and Jim McElwain informed 2017 receiver Lavarus Tigner (6-0, 180, Deerfield Beach, FL High) that they were offering him a scholarship to join Florida.
It didn’t take long for Tigner to jump on the offer and he informed McElwain that he wanted to be the first 2017 commit for the Florida Gators.
