Former Texas A&M defensive back Elijah Blades will transfer to Florida, he announced on Instagram on Friday night.
He is expected to arrive on campus by the end of next week. He should fall under the NCAA’s new one-time transfer rule and be eligible to play this fall. If he’s able to pick up the new playbook quickly, he’ll compete with Jaydon Hill, Jason Marshall and Avery Helm for playing time.
Blades initially committed to the Gators as a four-star recruit during the summer prior to his sophomore year at Muir High School in Pasadena, California.
