Florida coach Jim McElwain made official on Tuesday two hires to his support staff.
John Herron was hired as director of on-campus recruiting, according to SEC Country. The Florida alumnus boasts a heavy basketball background, but he also has ties to the south Florida high school football scene.
In addition, Ryan Smith was hired after serving as Alabama’s offensive quality control coach last year. The perspective gained from playing a part in the Crimson Tide’s championship run last season should serve Florida well. Smith was the former coach at Gainesville High School from 2008 to 2010.
Excited to officially welcome John Herron @UFRC_JH and Ryan Smith @coachsmithUF to our @GatorsFB family! #GoGators
