Tulane DB DJ Douglas has committed to the Florida Gators

The Florida Gators stayed on a hot streak on Saturday when they picked up another transfer from an official visitor that was on campus this week.

Tulane DB transfer DJ Douglas committed to the Florida Gators over Texas A&M, Houston, and North Carolina State on Saturday.

“It’s a blessing just to be here, #commited,” Douglas tweeted on Saturday.

Douglas was on campus from Wednesday to Friday where he had a chance to meet new defensive backs coach Will Harris and the rest of the coaching staff.

The Tulane defensive back has played in 31 games the last three years for the Green Wave, and he brings a versatile skillset to the Gators’ defense.

Douglas started his career at Alabama when he walked onto the program but went to Tulane where he was on scholarship.

With the addition of Douglas, the Gators now have two defensive back transfers who will be on campus this spring and both are from the state of Alabama as Douglas joins former Oregon defensive back Trikweze Bridges in the class.
