Florida Gators recruiting: UF offers a JUCO lineman on Monday

The Florida Gators recruiting class last year didn’t have a JUCO lineman in it, but on Monday the Gators offered one for 2017.

That prospect is offensive lineman Badara Traore (6-8, 310, Garden City, NY Nassau JUCO), who received the offer from Mike Summers.

“Coach Summers was the coach that offered me,” Traore said. “He said that he really liked who I was and my character. He really loved my film and said that he liked the way I played the game.”

Traore has never visited Florida before but he was able to meet Summers last year and he liked the Gators coach.
