First class arrives for McElwain

Florida coach Jim McElwain put his first stamp on the Gators’ roster this week with the arrival of his inaugural football recruiting class.

A total of 19 incoming freshmen have reported to UF for the Summer B semester, which starts June 29.

McElwain and his staff landed 15 prospects in the last 11 days of the 2015 recruiting cycle. They committed to McElwain’s plan and vision in a short period of time and made Florida’s once dismal class finish with a top-25 ranking.

“I thought our momentum was big,” McElwain said on signing day when asked how the Gators closed so well.
