Florida football recruiting: Gators flip 2017 OL Kadeem Telfort from Miami

Florida added another offensive lineman and another 2017 commit on Tuesday — and did it both by plucking a prospect out of Miami's backyard in South Florida and by prying the player in question from Miami's clutches.

Miami Norland offensive lineman Kadeem Telfort, who committed to Miami in March, flipped to the Gators on Tuesday, announcing the decision on Twitter.

I've talked it over with my parents and we came to a decision that I will decommit from The University Of Miami.
