Florida nets first 2021 five-star recruit

The 2020 college football season may be in jeopardy, but the Florida Gators won’t be caught lacking in firepower when 2021 rolls around.

Five-star cornerback Jason Marshall, 247Sports’ No. 2 cornerback in the nation, announced his commitment to UF on Sunday. Marshall is UF’s first five-star recruit for the 2021 recruiting cycle.

Marshall, who hails from Palmetto High School, had 44 tackles, 15 passes broken up and five interceptions during his 2019 campaign. His decision to go to Florida came as a bit of a surprise, as he had received offers from Alabama, Oregon, Clemson and his hometown Miami Hurricanes, among others.
