Gators pledge Gervon Dexter in Rivals100
Rivals revealed its updated 2020 Rivals100 rankings and one Florida pledge saw a huge bump.
Gervon Dexter, who was ranked 237th prior to this update, moved up over 100 spots and is now ranked No. 98 on Tuesday.
The four-star defensive end committed to Florida head coach Dan Mullen back in November. A product of Lake Wales (Fla.) High, the 6-foot-6, 276-pound Dexter is a frequent visitor to the Swamp and a very vocal recruiter for the Gators.
"I always tell a lot of people: Why go out to Alabama or go out to a big school out-of-state when you can get the same thing here in Florida," he told Gators Territory after his visit this spring.
As a junior, Dexter piled up 53 tackles, nine sacks and seven forced fumbles.
The rankings also include several of UF's targets including: five-star running back and Clemson commit, Demarckus Bowman, five-star defensive end Sav'ell Smalls, four-star safety and Oregon pledge Avantae Williams, four-star wide receiver Marcus Rosemy, four-star defensive end Zykevious Walker, four-star defensive end and Miami pledge Samuel Anaele, and four-star athlete EJ Smith.
Florida targets: four-star defensive tackle Jaquelin Roy, four-star offensive lineman Sedrick Van Pran and four-star defensive tackle Timothy Smith also moved up the rankings to make it into the new Rivals100 rankings.
