Notable: Stubbs was a longtime Gator target but Florida never gained much momentum for him before he committed to Miami but the Gators stayed in touch with him despite his commitment. The Navy All-American started listening to Florida more once his teammate Tramell Jones committed to the Gators and he flipped his commitment to Florida on Monday before signing day.

Quotable: “What stood out to me was the players, just me building that relationship with the players, I talked with them a lot,” Stubbs said on the highlight of his visit. “Usually when you visit, you don’t get to build that connection with the players. So, I built a real connection with the players, and I liked what they were saying to me, and I like what they are feeling right now with Florida.”
