Florida Gators Recruiting: Auburn flip Tavaris Dice makes you regret playing football
Florida Football is continuing its recruiting momentum heading into Early Signing Day. The Gators have been gaining a score of recruits as their ranking is trying to crack the top ten.
The Gators have secured another flip, this time from Auburn, who doesn't have an "elite" ranking but fits the mold of the type of offensive lineman we like to see.

Tavaris Dice is listed at 6'4" and 295 pounds. The OT from Georgia is a consensus four-star, with 247 having him the highest at 159th overall and Rivals having him the lowest outside of the top 300.
On film, Dice fits the mold of a four-star lineman who takes joy in making opposing defenders question their decision to start playing football and fills them with dreams of track season.
Dice pancakes guys for fun and knocks guys over even when the moment doesn't require knocking a guy over; he does it anyway.
He has the size that falls in line with a solid four-star guy, and his fate in college will be dictated by his ability to decipher the college game.
Dice committed to Auburn back in March, but Billy Napier and crew didn't give up pursuit. Dice made an official visit back in June, and according to his 247 timeline, it was the only official visit he had taken beyond Auburn.
As it stands right now, Dice is the third offensive lineman the Gators have as a verbal commit heading into next week. The Gators are still in the hot pursuit of five-star Solomon Thomas, who is currently committed to FSU.
The Gators are still ranked 15th in the 247 team rankings with 21 overall commits.
