The Florida Gators have landed another top recruit from the South Florida area. Four-star defensive end Andrew Chatfield has officially signed with the Florida Gators. Dan Mullen and his staff have worked their magic in landing Chatfield. Chatfield is one of the most underrated recruits and will play a big role in the Florida Gators defense in years to come. In recent years, the University of Florida has done a great job of stealing some of South Florida’s top recruits away from the Miami Hurricanes and Florida just pulled it off with Chatfield signing with Florida. Chatfield is a perfect fit for Todd Grantham’s defense and should really thrive as a pass rusher.
