While Florida suffered a decommitment from Jamarrien Burt on Sunday following Dan Mullen’s firing, 2 other Gator commitments clarified their stance with the program.
Nick Evers, a 4-star QB commit from Flower Mound, Texas, and CJ Smith, a 4-star WR commit from Orlando, each wrote statements on social media. Smith wrote that while he’s not decommitting from the Gators, his recruitment is open, and he’s looking to make sure he can run track and play football.
Evers noted that he must be aligned with the head coach, but he also chose Florida for “so many reasons” other than football.
Due to the recent events I will be opening up my recruitment again. This is not me DECOMMITING but I want to ensure that my future home will allow me to do both track and football💯 #recruitmentbackOPEN
