FLORIDA COMMIT AMONG 2019 RIVALS250 BIGGEST MOVERS

Florida Jaqueze Sorrells was one of the biggest movers in the newly released 2019 Rivals250 moving from being unrated to No. 126 overall.

“Sorrells continues to add mass and is well on his way to having a college-ready build. He’s not the tallest defensive end in the class, but he has long arms for his size and a quick first step. He’s currently committed to Florida but could explore his options in the coming year.” - Rivals.com Southeast Recruiting Analyst Rob Cassidy
