The Gators picked up their seventh verbal commitment of the 2015 recruiting class Wednesday evening when athlete Jalen Julius announced he would commit to UF, multiple outlets reported.
Julius hails from West Orange High School in Orlando. He transferred to West Orange from Orlando Evans earlier this spring.
It is expected that he will play cornerback while at Florida, although he can play wide receiver as well.
Julius’ commitment gives the Gators their third defensive back in the current 2015 class. His fellow cornerback commits include Marcus Lewis, out of Gonzaga College High School in Washington D.C., and Deontai Williams, who is from Trinity High School in Jacksonville.
Julius received an offer from Florida at the end of last month. He is verbally committed to Florida despite receiving offers from other Southeastern Conference schools including Auburn, Ole Miss and Tennessee.
