Road To Signing Day: Gators Land TJ Moore, Commits Vocally Lobby For Recruits

Florida Gators land four-star lineman T.J. Moore and are closing in on four-star Kai-Leon Herbert. Are the Gators closing strong?

Merry Christmas! The Florida Gators opened a BIG present both figuratively and literally on the day, and appear to be closing strong as we heading closer to National Signing Day.

News

Last week, I talked about how I was fairly confident the Gators were going to land four-star offensive lineman T.J. Moore, and they did just that. Moore is from Mallard Creek, NC and was recruited by none other than former Florida offensive tackle D.J. Humphries.

UF beat out rival Tennessee for his talents, as well as the Will Muschamp coached South Carolina Gamecocks. Below is a tweet of Moore announcing his commitment.

The announcement pushed Gators to becoming the 19th ranked class on the 247Sports composite.

Staying on the subject of the offensive line, four-star offensive tackle Kai-Leon Herbert has confirmed Florida has obtained his final visit before National Signing Day. The visit is dated for January 27th, according to 247 Sports, and many believe that Herbert will announce his commitment on the 28th based on his recent tweet.

That can only be a good sign for the Gators. If they can land Herbert, that would be three four-star offensive linemen in this class.

Another hint Herbert might be putting out is retweeting Gators commit Zach Carter’s tweet below.

Not the world’s biggest news, but still something positive.
