What does Florida’s kicking future look like? Thanks in no small part to Dan Mullen, Gators fans now have one big part of their answer.
Three-star kicker Evan McPherson flipped his commitment from Mississippi State to Florida over the weekend, announcing his decision on Twitter.
McPherson (6 feet 0, 165 pounds), from Fort Payne (Ala.) High in northeast Alabama, is considered one of the top three prep kickers in the nation.
McPherson’s move represents a big gain for the Gators and a loss for Mississippi State, where he had been committed since April 8. His other Power Five offers included Kentucky, Iowa State, Nebraska and Rutgers.
