Outsider linebacker Andrew Savaiinaea has committed to the Florida Gators after he took an official visit to Gainesville over the weekend.

Ty'Ron Hopper has reportedly entered the transfer portal again. Last Thursday, the linebacker entered the portal, only to remove his name from the portal a little more than an hour later. 

Kicker signee Trey Smack enjoyed his time in Gainesville and sees a more motivating vision from Billy Napier's coaching staff.

Billy Napier has hired James Thomas Jr. as a quality control coach. In this role, Thomas will work with the cornerbacks. He worked for Maryland last season as a special teams quality control analyst.

Chris McClellan defied all conventional logic when he committed to the Gators when they didn't have a head coach back in November. He may have taken a bizarre path to UF, but he's enrolled now and ready to make an impact.  

Safety Jacoby Matthews says he's comfortable with the Florida Gators' after what he called a "successful" visit to Gainesville.

Tight end Hayden Hansen has committed to the Florida Gators on Sunday following his official visit to Gainesville.

Defensive lineman Jayson Jenkins enjoyed being around new defensive line coach Sean Spencer and the rest of the Gators' coaching staff during his visit to Gainesville.

The Gators used a dominant defensive effort -- they only gave up three field goals in the second half -- to defeat Vanderbilt 61-42 and get back to .500 in SEC play.
