UF football recruiting: Gators land two commitments

Florida’s 2018 class landed a verbal commitment Saturday from a highly regarded OLB/DE prospect out of Vero Beach High.
David Reese, the No. 31-ranked outside linebacker prospect in the 2018 class by 247Sports, announced his commitment to the Gators and coach Jim McElwain via his Twitter account.
A three-star prospect by 247Sports’ composite, Reese recently picked up a scholarship offer from the Crimson Tide after camping at the University of Alabama. Reese, however, returned to Gainesville on Thursday and took an unofficial visit to UF.
With Reese’s commitment, which is non-binding until he signs a letter of intent, the Gators have 15 commits in the 2018 class.
2019 commit: Florida’s 2019 class landed a commitment Friday night from a 6-foot-3 prospect out of Clewiston (Fla.).
Ja’markis Weston announced his verbal commitment to the Gators over scholarship offers from Tennessee and UMass.
With Weston’s pledge, which is non-binding until he signs a letter of intent, the Gators have 12 commits in the 2019 class.
