Former Florida Gators tweet support before National Signing Day

With National Signing Day less than two days away the Florida Gators recruiting and coaching staff is pressing full bore trying to finish the class strong.

Part of Jim McElwain’s recruiting pitch is the slogan, “Gators take care of Gators” and recently McElwain and his staff have been getting some help from former Gators on social media.

Here are some tweets from former Gators supporting the university and the coaching staff as they approach a very important National Signing day.

Nick de la Torre
A South Florida native, Nick developed a passion for all things sports at a very young age. His love for baseball was solidified when he saw Al Leiter’s no-hitter for the Marlins live in May of 1996. He was able to play baseball in college but quickly realized there isn’t much of a market for short, slow outfielders that hit around the Mendoza line. Wanting to continue with sports in some capacity he studied journalism at the University of Central Florida. Nick got his first start in the business as an intern for a website covering all things related to the NFL draft before spending two seasons covering the Florida football team at Bleacher Report. That job led him to GatorCountry. When he isn’t covering Gator sports, Nick enjoys hitting way too many shots on the golf course, attempting to keep up with his favorite t.v. shows and watching the Heat, Dolphins and Marlins.
