Florida really makes a splash with Torrian Gray hire

Soon after Jim McElwain hauled in his second recruiting class at Florida, he reeled in yet another solid member to his 2016 team.

And this guy certainly has five-star qualities.

McElwain's hire of long-time Virginia Tech secondary coach Torrian Gray was a huge get for the Gators. They are not only getting a proven coach in an area that has been such a big part of this defense for the past couple of years, but they are also getting a top-flight recruiter, which is tremendously important going forward.

Though McElwain's second recruiting class can be deemed a success, especially when you consider the 12 very important early enrollees, this staff probably would have liked to have closed better than it did.
