Ever since coming to the University Of Florida head coach Todd Golden has made it known that he would be looking beyond the borders of the United States to find talent. He had had success with international players at San Francisco and he saw an opportunity to bring big names from overseas to Gainesville to give them an advantage over the SEC who largely is yet to embrace global recruiting.
Golden was able to accomplish his goal to recruit internationally as German post player Aleks Szymczyk shared posts on his social media confirming that he had committed to the Gators.
