Lovelace left “speechless” by Billy Napier after earning an offer from UF

On Tuesday night, the Florida Gators added a JUCO offensive lineman to the 2022 class and shortly before that they offered another JUCO lineman for 2022.

Offensive lineman Cooper Lovelace (6-5, 320, Prairie Village, KS. Butler JUCO) picked up an offer after he talked to Billy Napier himself.

“It came from the head man himself,” Lovelace said on who offered him. “We’ve been communicating with each other the last two weeks through Coach [Rob] Sale and Coach [Darnell] Stapleton, they sent me an email asking about my film, so we’ve been in touch about that.”

Offensive line coach Darnell Stapleton visited Lovelace this week and watched him workout before Napier offered him.
