Instant impact recruit: Florida Gators

Related Topics: Jim McElwain

Despite what some considered a troubling lead-up to Florida's national signing day, Jim McElwain was able to bring in a pretty solid class.

He hit the defensive line and the secondary especially hard, and that's where this class will make its most immediate impact. Some will look at juco transfer Kyree Campbell, who could fill right in for the departed Caleb Brantley, but Florida's biggest impact player won't be on campus until the summer.

That's when ESPN 300 safety Brad Stewart will enroll.

Now, some might immediately point to incoming ESPN 300 athlete Christopher Henderson, who looks primed to be a pretty impressive cornerback for the Gators in the future, but Stewart might be more ready to play than his classmate.
