Florida has had a rash of decommitments at the end of the season following the coaching change from Jim McElwain.
Now that Dan Mullen is the new coach, the Gators have lost a commitment from the 2019, wide receiver Maurice Goolsby of Dunnelon, Fla. He is a 4-star prospect, according to 247 Sports, and is listed at 6-foot-5, 196 yards.
It’s unclear how the coaching change had an impact on Goolsby’s feeling of playing at Florida, or if it was his decision. But he has 14 other offers, including several in the SEC.
Goolsby is ranked the No. 20 wide receiver in the country in his class, and the No. 19 player in the state of Florida.
