Florida has added another former five-star recruit from the transfer portal, landing LSU tight end Arik Gilbert.
Gilbert announced his decision Sunday on Twitter to join the Gators.
“After careful consideration I have decided to commit to the University of Florida. This is the best situation for me and I’m excited to join the family,” Gilbert wrote.
As a freshman, the 6-5, 249-pound Gilbert caught 35 passes for 368 yards and two touchdowns with the Tigers. He was rated a consensus five-star recruit and the nation’s No. 1 tight end in the Class of 2020 out of Marietta, Georgia.
