Notable: Originally committed to the University of Arizona at the 2014 Under Armour All-America game before flipping to Florida 11 days later. In the Under Armour game, Tabor had one punt return for two yards as well as four solo tackles and one tackle for loss, he also registered a pass breakup. Tabor is a two time Washington Post All-Met selection and was also Washington D.C.’s Mr. Football. He idolizes former Florida cornerback Joe Haden, even requesting to wear his jersey number while playing at UF.

Quotable: “I’m full with the University of Florida. It’s where I want to be,” Tabor told Gator Country. “It’s a lot closer to home; my family can come and see me play. I’m very excited with the defensive backs coach, Coach [Travaris Robinson]. This is where I want to be, where I want to go to school at.”

Richard Johnson
Richard lives in Gainesville and prides himself in being a bonafide lifelong Alachua County Resident. He attends the University of Florida and is in his third year studying Telecommunications. He isn’t sure how he started loving football being the son of two immigrants that don’t care about the sport, but he has developed a borderline unhealthy obsession with it. In his free time, Richard watches other sports and is an avid fan of the Los Angeles Lakers and Tampa Bay Rays. He doesn’t like chocolate, knows Moe’s is better than Chipotle and drinks way too many Arnold Palmers. He also took up golf in the summer of 2012. That pursuit isn’t going well. You can listen to him talk about sports during the Cheapseats radio show on ESPN 850-WRUF or online at WRUF.com. Follow him on Twitter at @RagjUF.
