Friday Night Lights is off to a good start for Jim McElwain and the Gators.
Three star Class of 2016 defensive back Quincy Lenton (Meridian, MS) has committed to Florida. He also had offers from Auburn, Mississippi State, Georgia, Mississippi and Nebraska. Lenton arrived at Florida’s annual FNL camp without holding an offer from the Gators, but quickly earned one and then almost immediately committed.
Lenton adds depth to an already stacked defensive backfield. By the time he gets to Gainesville, Vernon Hargreaves and Brian Poole will be gone, so there will be some open spots for him to compete for.
In any case, it’s a nice way to kick off Friday Night Lights. Look for at least one and maybe two more commitments before the night is over.
