Jon Sumrall is recruiting on a different level for the Florida Gators over the last two weeks, and it’s bearing fruit with another commitment.

Florida Gators head coach Jon Sumrall has been on a wild recruiting heater over the last two weeks.

First, the Gators landed five-star offensive lineman Maxwell Hiller, and followed it up with four-star quarterback Davin Davidson. Then, after the spring game, Sumrall secured the commitment from four-star cornerback and former South Carolina commit Aamaury Fountain. Sumrall’s reaction to that commitment showed everything about how things have grown.
