Gators haul in DT recruit Jafar Mann for 2012

Head coach Will Muschamp gained a verbal commitment from another large-in-stature 2012 recruit on Friday as 6’3”, 275 lbs. defensive tackle Jafar Mann (Stone Mountain, GA) announced his intention to play college football for the Florida Gators.

Mann, who will join his high school teammate – running back Mike Davis (Stone Mountain, GA) – in Gainesville, FL, visited the University of Florida with Davis in late February and obviously came away impressed.

Having received offers from at least a dozen programs, Mann chose Florida over Alabama, Georgia, Miami (FL) and others.

He is the Gators’ seventh commitment for the 2012 recruiting cycle and Muschamp’s fourth in the last month. To check out the entire list of Florida’s 2012 verbal commits, click here (read the right sidebar).
