Florida Gators expected to land local recruit with international ties, and it comes at the expense of a bitter rival
Anytime the Florida Gators can get one over on the Miami Hurricanes, it’s a great day for everybody.
Recruiting has been massive for the Florida Gators over the last couple of months.
Head coach Jon Sumrall has been massive in turning the tide for the Gators. Billy Napier didn’t do a nearly good enough job at Florida when it came to recruiting, and Sumrall has worked tirelessly to fix that.
So far, Sumrall has a whopping 10 commitments, thus far with only three of them on defense. They have just one on the defensive line in three-star De’Voun Kendrick. They are getting close to landing another player at the position, and he’s a unique player.
Florida Gators are set to land an international recruit with local ties
Wednesday is going to be a crucial day for recruiting, as three-star defensive lineman Stive-Bentley Keumajou Yondui will be announcing his commitment. The Gators are competing with the Auburn Tigers, Miami Hurricanes, Texas Longhorns, and Georgia Bulldogs for his commitment.
Keumajou Yondui is one of the more intriguing players in the class. Originally from England who moved to the United States last summer, he’s a multi-sport athlete who also plays soccer and basketball. Technique isn’t quite there yet, but the movement skills are a huge plus. Being in college will help improve that technique quite a bit.
Both Rivals and 247 Sports have the Gators set to land Keumajou Yondui, who is the 48th-ranked defensive lineman recruit in the Rivals’ Industry Ranking. He’s already visited the Gators twice, with a third visit, this one official, set to occur on May 28th. It would be a major coup to have Keumajou Yondui in the building. Defensive line coach Gerald Chatman would be able to elevate him to another level on defense.
Rivals’ Recruiting Prediction Machine has the Gators with a 98.2% chance to land him on Wednesday morning. It would give the Gators 11 commitments, possibly 12 if offensive tackle Elijah Hutcheson ends up committing on Tuesday, and anytime you can get one over on both Miami and Georgia, it’s a good day.
This could end up being a massive week for the Gators.
