Matt Elam Reconfirms Committment

We touched on Matt’s intent to visit other schools not too long ago. Recently, he visited Tennessee and didn’t come out with a good taste in his mouth after Kiffin said he could be the next Eric Berry and said the same thing to the very next recruit that was visiting the same day. After visiting these schools and talking with Urban Meyer, he is now back on board as a Florida Gator.
He will not be visiting FSU and he has reconfirmed he will become a Gator. Elam was initially worried about depth and how many others Florida would have at his position. But his talent alone should allow him to compete for plenty of playing time and not all of those others really play the same position he will.
The jury is still out as he has been back and forth a few times. He mentioned he would early enroll but that’s still a couple months away and until that’s completed, there is no sure thing with this young star player. This guy knows how to keep his name in the spot light and likes the attention is what it boils down to in my opinion.
