Dan Mullen and the Florida Gators coaching staff have signed a very solid tight end in the class. Three-star tight end and Florida commit Dante Lang has signed his NLI to the University of Florida. This is a nice signing for the Gators as Lang is an underrated tight end who is still learning the position. The Gators are in need of help at tight end since the tight ends was practically nonexistent last season. Lang is one of two tight ends that is signing with the Gators in the early signing period with UA All-American Kyle Pitts.
Who is Dante Lang?
Dante Lang is a three-star TE out of Boca Raton Community High School in Boca Raton, Florida. The Florida TE commit is one of the top tight ends in the state of Florida. He is a big, physical tight end. Lang is still learning how to play tight end as he was a defensive end in high school. He is a terrific blocker which could really help him see early playing time with the Gators in short yardage situations. Lang chose Florida over Georgia, LSU, and Ole Miss.
According to the 247 Sports Composite Rankings, Lang is the 612th ranked recruit and the 34th ranked weak-side defensive end in the country. According to Rivals, Lang is the 88th ranked recruit in Florida and the 32nd ranked tight end in the country. The Gators have added a big tight end who could really develop into a solid player. The Gators have still not found or announced their tight end coach. Lang is going to need some help as he continues to learn how to be a TE.
