Florida Gators Signee Profile: Defensive back Sharif Denson

Sharif Denson

School: Bartram Trail

Hometown: Jacksonville, FL.

Height: 5-11

Weight: 170

Position: defensive back

247 Ranking: 4-star

Recruited by: Corey Raymond/Mike Peterson

Enrollment date: January of 2023

Notable: Denson is one of the Gators biggest wins in this recruiting class as Alabama came on late to try and flip the cornerback and Miami did the same as signing day drew near. Denson who’s considered one of the top cover corners in the state is a big pick-up for the Gators.

Quotable: “The closeness to home for sure,” Denson said on what he likes about Florida. “Just the DBU feel and Vez [Trevez Johnson] is here, we went to Bartram [High School] together. He’s like a big brother to me.”
