The Florida Gators still haven’t received five-star defensive end CeCe Jefferson’s Letter Of Intent as of Thursday morning.

Jefferson committed to the Gators at 2:05 p.m. ET Wednesday with his mother and father by his side, and he was supposed to fax his LOI to the university this morning.

That didn’t happen.

Brady Ackerman, a sideline reporter for the Gator Sports Network, went on Bill King’s radio show this morning in Nashville, and Ackerman explained the situation surrounding Jefferson, via 247Sports.

“Now he’s going to be a Gator, but as of right now his letter of intent has not been received by Florida,” Ackerman said. “You say, well what’s the story there, Brady? There’s a lot of back story to this, so I’m giving you what people I know in Baker County in Florida, Macclenny just outside of Jacksonville, are telling me, Bill. Not what the coaches are telling me, not what I think that I know from the inside the University of Florida. This is straight from the folks I know at Baker County, and I know a lot of them.

“Apparently his dad is not allowing him to sign with Florida just yet. His dad, his mom, while live together don’t see eye to eye. The mom wants him to go to Florida. There’s a lot of Gators in Baker County. As you know, the proximity, Bill, is very close to the University of Florida. This kid wants to be a Gator and apparently his dad is not signing it. From what I understand, he’s 19, but I was also told a parent still has to sign it.

“That’s where the story ends for me right now. From the Florida perspective, they feel very confident that CeCe Jefferson will be a Gator and that he is a Gator, but from the legal standpoint, we kind of went through this yesterday with [Byron] Cowart down at Armwood, it’s not officially official, if you will.”

247Sports spoke with Jefferson’s father, Leo, and he confirmed the LOI hasn’t been faxed yet and did not explain the reasoning.

Whether or not it’s connected, new Florida defensive line coach Terrell Williams is leaving for the Miami Dolphins. The Gators hired Texas defensive line coach Chris Rumph to replace Williams, according to Sports Illustrated.
