Two weeks after visiting the Florida Gators, rising three-star defensive end Jabari Zuniga (Marietta, GA) decided to commit to the program and become the 10th member of its 2015 recruiting class.

A NC State pledge who was also evaluating an offer from Arkansas, Zuniga was recruited by Florida defensive coordinator Geoff Collins, who after taking over the Gators’ defense made the player a primary target.

Zuniga (6-foot-3, 255 pounds), who only played varsity high school football for two years, is a long and strong lineman who can play both inside and out but is expected to be an edge rusher for Florida. Zuniga has plenty of room for growth and development, and local writers have singled him out as an underrated prospect out of the state of Georgia.

He is the second 2015 recruit to commit to the Gators in as many days. Florida now has 10 players pledged to sign with the program, all of which are rated as three-star recruits.

Zuniga’s decision was first reported by InsidetheGators.com‘s Blake Alderman.
