Gators add offensive lineman Riley Simonds to 2019 recruiting class

Dan Mullen and the Florida Gators added a commitment to their 2019 class on Wednesday when three-star offensive lineman Riley Simonds announced his plans to play in Gainesville.

“I had a top-three of Virginia Tech, Florida and Missouri and most people thought I was going to go to Virginia Tech,” Simonds told GN. “But the educational plan I wanted for my future, my career and my family was at Florida.

“Not to mention, Florida is one of the top powerhouses in power-five football. I just want to bring ‘The Swamp’ back to what it is and bring the fans a championship.
