ANOTHER COMMIT! Inside Florida's Late Surge to Land DL Zahmar Tookes | GATORS ROLLING!

About this episode

David Waters discusses Florida's late recruitment of defensive lineman Zahmar Tookes and the implications for the team.

Florida came late to the Zahmar Tookes recruitment, but the Gators closed fast and beat out Penn State and Nebraska for the versatile four-star defensive lineman. David Waters breaks down how Gerald Chatman and Brad White built the relationship, what the GatorMade pitch really looked like, and what Florida is getting on the field. Plus, where Tookes fits in the 2027 DL class and the latest on Wheeler, Guertin, and Jalen Brewster.
