The biggest issue with the Florida Gators’ offense right now is the offensive line, and head coach Jon Sumrall isn’t taking it lightly. On Thursday, he landed a fascinating commitment in offensive tackle Moreno Fisher. He was previously committed to the Virginia Cavaliers.

The Gators’ offensive line continues to have major questions surrounding it, and that is likely to continue until offensive line coach Phil Trautwein gets the talent he needs to turn the unit around. This is another step toward that goal.

Fisher is a fascinating recruit. Standing at 6-7 and 270 pounds, he’s out of Charlotte, North Carolina and a three-star recruit. Even though he’s the 89th offensive tackle per Rivals, Moreno provides some upside with both his size and athleticism.

He’s more of a project right now with his frame, but getting him into the strength and conditioning program will be important for him.

With Moreno’s commitment, the Gators remain the No. 5 recruiting class, and it now has 27 commitments.
