Trenton Brown

School: Georgia Military

Hometown: Milledgeville, Ga.

Height: 6-foot-8

Weight: 350 pounds

GC composite ranking: NR

Recruiting by: Tim Davis

Notable: Was named the No. 1 junior college offensive tackle. Runs the 40-yard dash in 5.3 seconds. Was originally a Georgia verbal commitment. Was offered a scholarship by Will Muschamp in February of 2012. Made an official visit to Florida for the season opener on Sept. 1, 2012 against Bowling Green. Was originally expected to sign in Decmber and enroll in classes for the spring semester, but he had to stay in junior college for one more semester to complete a class before being cleared academically to enroll at Florida. Coaches have continued recruiting the behemoth lineman despite his verbal commitment to Florida, which he noted several times on his Twitter account, was solid.

Quotable: “I have known all along that I was going to decide and sign in December. But it feels really good to be done with the process and moving on with my life. Florida is a very prestigious school to me and everyone else. For me to able to say I play at Florida and in the Southeastern Conference means I have had success in playing football and it gives me a great feeling to know that.” — Brown told GatorCountry.com.
