Florida has landed the No. 6 cornerback in the country, according to the 247Sports Composite rating. Kaiir Elam announced his decision to play for Dan Mullen and the Gators on National Signing Day, adding the finishing touch to a strong recruiting class for the SEC East power. Elam made his announcement from The Benjamin School in North Palm Beach (Fla.), where he had a standout career. He had narrowed his options to Georgia, Florida, Miami and Colorado, but the in-state option proved to be the most appealing.
Elam was the No. 7 overall recruit from the state of Florida and the second-highest uncommitted defensive player heading into National Signing Day.
