Gators add junior college All-American Justin Leon to roster

Florida picked up a much-needed post player for the 2015 season with the addition of 6-foot-8 forward Justin Leon.

Leon will be able to compete immediately and has two seasons of eligibility remaining.

He joins a class of three incoming freshmen, all ranked in the top 80 of the ESPN100 recruit rankings for the 2015 class: KeVaughn Allen, Kevarrius Hayes and Keith Stone.

Leon was a junior college All-American at Shawnee (Ill.) Community College this past season, averaging a double-double (21.5 ppg., 10.0 rpg.). He shot 50.4 percent from the field.
