Since the arrival of Jim McElwain Florida has stepped up their recruiting efforts in the state of Alabama landing four signees in the last two cycles combined.

In 2016 the Gators were able to pull Jeremiah Moon, LaMical Perine and Jeawon Taylor from the state. In 2017 the Gators landed Kadarius Toney.

Florida is looking to continue that trend in 2018 with a recent offer to Huntsville (Ala.) Lee defensive end Malik Langham.
