Florida Gators recruiting reaction to the Tennessee win

The Florida Gators got their first SEC win under Dan Mullen on Saturday against Tennessee on national TV in primetime on ESPN.

Since it was a road game, the Gators didn’t have a chance to host any prospects on campus but several of Florida’s commits and targets were tuned in to watch the Gators win.

GatorCountry caught up with several commits and targets to get their thoughts on Florida’s win over Tennessee.

 

Florida athlete commit Diwun Black-“If you’re a Gator, you’ve got to love this. People didn’t think we was going to win but look at us now.”

 

Florida quarterback commit Jalon Jones-“It was great, I was real excited. Great job by the Gators in all facets and I’m excited carry on the winning streak next year when I get there.”

 

Florida defensive line commit Jaelin Humphries-“Florida looked great tonight and the defense was flying to the ball and forcing turnovers.”

 

Florida offensive line commit Ethan White-“It’s just another step to get back to the Gator standard. I think this was the most physical game the Gators played all year on both sides of the ball. The offensive line looked great in run blocking and pass pro but there’s still things to work on as always.”

 

Florida offensive line commit William Harrod-“It was expected, we have better players and a better coaching staff.”

 

Florida linebacker commit Jesiah Pierre-“We’re a dominate team and I think we proved the world something.”

 

2020 Florida quarterback commit Anthony Richardson-“A win is always great. It’s a good feeling to execute things correctly and watch what positive things happen. It’s great to see the Gators get this big win! Go Gators!”

 

2020 offensive line target Zane Herring-“I thought the defense played great again and offense looked a lot better.”

 

2020 athlete target Avantae Williams-“They dominated.”

 

2022 athlete target Terian Williams-“If you’re not a Gator, you’re Gator Bait.”

 

GatorCountry will continue to update this as more prospects react to Florida’s big win on Saturday night.
