RJ Moten began his college career as a 4-star prospect for Michigan in the 2020 recruiting class. After developing into a starter for Jim Harbaugh’s program, Moten hit the transfer portal following spring practices.
According to Zach Abolverdi with On3 Sports, Moten committed to Billy Napier’s Florida program on Tuesday. The commitment is a sort of homecoming for Moten as his father — Ron Moten — played for the Gators in the 1980s before being drafted by the Philadephia Eagles.
