ShareStrong changed Bostic’s career
Jon Bostic committed to Florida on Jan. 3, 2009, and enrolled in classes a few days later as a 17-year-old freshman.
Listed at 6-foot-1, 218 pounds coming out of Wellington (Fla.) Palm Beach Central, Bostic was a “tweener.” He had lined up at safety, cornerback and running back in high school but had the physical skills and mentality of an inside linebacker.
Then-Florida defensive coordinator Charlie Strong, along with UF assistant Billy Gonzales, were in charge of Bostic’s recruitment. Strong, now Louisville’s head coach, believed Bostic could be the next Brandon Spikes-type player and switched Bostic to linebacker before spring practices began.
