Mississippi State’s recruits are relationships developed by Mullen before he left.
Tennessee is behind us on 247. Not sure where ESPN is coming from on that one. Mullen, they are saying made a few mistakes going to California and Mississippi to recruit early in the process last year. He hasn’t made that mistake for the 2020 class. They are already highly ranked.

Jones made it official Wednesday with his letter of intent. [Brad McClenny/The Gainesville Sun] Gators football signees for the 2019 Class who have been validated by the UF compliance office: MOHAMOUD DIABATE Position: Linebacker Height: 6-foot-3.5 Weight: 215 pounds Ranking: No. 8 outside linebacker, No. 215 nationally Hometown: Auburn, Ala. High School: Auburn Early Enrollee?: Yes Early analysis: Diabate could end up playing several spots at UF, but the early plan is to use him at the ‘Buck’ position once he steps on campus. Diabate has an opportunity — and the talent — to play early at UF. KINGSLEY EGUAKUN Position: Offensive lineman Height: 6-foot-3 Weight: 293 pounds Ranking: No. 41 offensive guard Hometown: Jacksonville High School: Sandalwood Early Enrollee?: Yes Early analysis: Eguakun is one of seven offensive linemen signing with the Gators this cycle and he’s poised to slot in at guard. UF will look to replace both starters at guard after the Peach Bowl, meaning Eguakun gives Florida some much-needed depth at the position. DEYAVIE HAMMOND Position: Offensive lineman Height: 6-foot-3 Weight: 353 pounds Ranking: No. 12 offensive guard, No. 174 nationally Hometown: Lakeland High School: Lakeland Early Enrollee?: Early analysis: Hammond is a highly touted prospect formerly committed to Alabama, but the Gators were the first SEC program to extend him an offer. He may be the most collegiate-ready of Florida’s offensive linemen signees. WILLIAM HARROD Position: Offensive tackle Height: 6-foot-5 Weight: 312 pounds Ranking: No. 27 offensive tackle, No. 307 nationally Hometown: Fort Washington, MD High School: National Christian Academy Early Enrollee?: Yes Early analysis: UF needs a true tackle or three, and Harrod should contend for a role in the rotation strictly due to the numbers. Getting him on campus in January is big for UF’s depth in the spring on the line. JAYDON HILL Position: Defensive back Height: 6-foot Weight: 174 pounds Ranking: No. 29 cornerback, No. 276 nationally Hometown: Madison, Ala. High School: Bob Jones Early Enrollee?: Yes Early analysis: Landing Hill was huge for the Gators considering their need for depth behind CJ Henderson and Trey Dean. Like Marco Wilson, Hill is recovering from a torn ACL, although indications are he’s progressed well in his recovery. He won’t be ready for spring, but he’ll enroll early and begin learning the playbook regardless. TYRON HOPPER Position: Linebacker Height: 6-foot-2 Weight: 205 pounds Ranking: No. 7 outside linebacker, No. 151 nationally Hometown: Roswell High School: Roswell, Ga. Early Enrollee?: No Early analysis: Signing Hopper was huge for Mullen, especially considering the aggressive push from South Carolina late in the cycle. Hopper won’t enroll until the summer, but his talent still makes him a candidate for early playing time. JAELIN HUMPHRIES Position: Defensive tackle Height: 6-foot-3 Weight: 303 pounds Ranking: No. 17 defensive tackle, No. 272 nationally Hometown: Lawrenceville, Ga. High School: Mountain View Early Enrollee?: No Early analysis: Humphries marks the first defensive tackle signed by Mullen — meaning the Gators had to sign a top one to make up for the drop-off at the position. The Gators have depth waiting in the wings, however, so Humphries won’t be rushed along. JALON JONES Position: Quarterback Height: 6-foot-3 Weight: 205 pounds Ranking: No. 11 dual-threat quarterback, No. 313 nationally Hometown: Richmond, Va. High School: Henrico Early Enrollee?: Yes Early analysis: Jones will likely benefit from the redshirt rule, meaning he’ll see the field in 2019 in four games. UF now has four scholarship quarterbacks, but it seems inevitable the Joneses will battle for the job sooner rather than later. CHESTER KIMBROUGH Position: Defensive back Height: 5-foot-10 Weight: 167 pounds Ranking: No. 47 cornerback Hometown: New Orleans, La. High School: Warren Easton Early Enrollee?: No Early analysis: The Gators have depth at the position, although Kimbrough’s athleticism and sound tackling makes him a candidate to play on special teams from Day 1. And Mullen has been a proponent of rewarding those who make plays on special teams with playing time. DIONTE MARKS Position: Wide receiver Height: 6-foot-1 Weight: 180 pounds Ranking: No. 105 wide receiver Hometown: Deland High School: Deland Early Enrollee?: No Early analysis: Marks can play either on the outside or in the slot, and he also gives the Gators a potential returner down the road. His talents were on full display during a stellar season at Deland, and Marks’ skill-set could see him hit the field in some capacity sooner rather than later. JESIAH PIERRE Position: Linebacker Height: 6-foot-2 Weight: 220 pounds Ranking: No. 42 outside linebacker Hometown: Mount Dora, FL High School: Mount Dora Christian Academy Early Enrollee?: No Early analysis: Pierre is part of Florida’s dynamic linebacker class, and he’s going to slide right inside for the Gators. He’ll work to carve out a role when he arrives in Summer. RILEY SIMONDS Position: Offensive lineman Height: 6-foot-4 Weight: 300 pounds Ranking: No. 29 offensive guard Hometown: Buford, Ga. High School: Buford High Early Enrollee?: No Early analysis: Simonds wasn’t expected to sign with the Gators until February, but the guard prospect couldn’t wait to put pen to paper. He’s a top-30 offensive guard in this class and gives Florida more depth in the future at a position of need. LLOYD SUMMERALL Position: Defensive end Height: 6-foot-5 Weight: 220 pounds Ranking: No. 15 weakside defensive end, No. 237 nationally Hometown: Lakeland High School: Lakeland Early Enrollee?: No Early analysis: The addition of Summerall is huge for the Gators. He’s a true defensive end, and they’re bound to lose several after this season. He could earn himself a spot in the rotation, but he’ll be a critical cog after the 2019 season. MICHAEL TARQUIN Position: Offensive lineman Height: 6-foot-5 Weight: 290 pounds Ranking: No. 24 offensive tackle, No. 281 nationally Hometown: Citra, Fla High School: North Marion Early Enrollee?: Yes Early analysis: Tarquin became the first prospect to send in his signed letter of intent Wednesday, ending a commitment that seemed set to finish in Miami. Florida flipped him on Nov. 30 and he’ll be on campus come January to contribute to a UF offensive line in for a significant overhaul. JA’MARKIS WESTON Position: Wide receiver Height: 6-foot-3 Weight: 205 pounds Ranking: No. 72 wide receiver Hometown: Clewiston, FL High School: Clewiston Early Enrollee?: Yes Early Analysis: Florida has an abundance of wide receivers, meaning Weston will have time to learn the ropes from UF’s upperclassmen next season. He’ll likely land outside rather than in the slot. TRENT WHITTEMORE Position: Safety/wide receiver Height: 6-foot-3 Weight: 190 pounds Ranking: No. 65 safety Hometown: Gainesville High School: Buchholz Early Enrollee?: No Early Analysis: Whittemore seems poised to end up at wide receiver — one of several positions he played for the Bobcats this season. He won’t arrive on campus until just before the summer, meaning he’ll have a more narrow window to carve out a role in 2019. WARDRICK WILSON Position: Offensive lineman Height: 6-foot-4 Weight: 305 pounds Ranking: No. 20 offensive guard Hometown: Opa Locka High School: Miami Carol City Early Enrollee?: Yes Early Analysis: Despite being listed as a guard, Wilson’s future may be at the tackle position. The position was a point of emphasis for Florida, and getting seven offensive linemen to sign early is a victory for Florida. NAY’QUAN WRIGHT Position: Running back Height: 5-foot-8 Weight: 188 pounds Ranking: No. 15 running back, No. 264 nationally Hometown: Opa Locka, Fl High School: Miami Carol City Early Enrollee?: No Early Analysis: Florida needed to add at least one running back in this class, and Wright gives the Gators a dynamic one. He had a standout season for Miami Carol City after coming back from injury and will certainly be a candidate for early playing time. ETHAN WHITE Position: Offensive tackle Height: 6-foot-5 Weight: 360 pounds Ranking: No. 48 offensive tackle Hometown: Clearwater High School: Clearwater Early Enrollee?: Yes Early Analysis: Let’s not mince words here: White is massive — which also means he may need to put in more work in the weight room than the other six offensive line signees in Gainesville. If the next nine months go according to plan, White could crack the rotation. But early indications are he’s a project in Year 1. KEON ZIPPERER Position: Tight end Height: 6-foot-2 Weight: 240 pounds Ranking: No. 4 tight end Hometown: Lakeland High School: Lakeland Early Enrollee?: No Early Analysis: With the addition of Zipperer, the Gators went 3-for-3 in Lakeland — a huge coup in an area Florida looked to re-take. Zipperer could score each time he touches the football, and only the future will tell just where he ends up. Beating out Miami for his services will pay dividends for Mullen sooner than later as well.
