Florida Gators Football Recruiting: Fred Hansard Spurns UF

The Florida Gators football team is aiming to secure a recruiting class for the ages in 2016. That’s a lofty goal, but in the SEC, head coach Jim McElwain has only one option: recruit well or lose to the competition.

Unfortunately, McElwain and the Gators endured a devastating turn of events this past weekend.

One of the Gators’ most significant signings was four-star defensive tackle Fred Hansard. He has the potential to be one of the most dominant defensive linemen in the country and a potential replacement to NFL-bound defensive tackle Caleb Brantley.

According to Sean Fitz of Lions247, the Gators have lost Hansard to the Penn State Nittany Lions.
