Watch the moment new UF commit Gavin Hill landed his dream offer
Florida Gators football is the No. 1 topic in Good Morning Gators every day — but we cover news, notes and analysis from across the Gators sports world. Join us each morning to get caught up on everything in the world of Florida football, UF recruiting, Gators basketball, Florida baseball and more.
Ten days after receiving his dream offer from the University of Florida, four-star defensive lineman and Gainesville native Gavin Hill officially joined forces with his hometown Gators on Saturday.
Hill became the third commitment of the week and the second straight On300 recruit to pledge to Billy Napier’s program. Florida’s 2023 class is now ranked No. 23 nationally with eight members.
A video was posted to social media Sunday showing the moment Hill received his offer from the Gators. He’s on FaceTime with his father in Napier’s office and hands the phone to UF’s first-year coach, who delivers the special news.
“Hey Mr. Hill, I’m doing great, man. I just want you to know that you got a lot to be proud of. Your son is a heck of an athlete and a football player, but more importantly, he’s a great young man. He represents your family well,” Napier told Hill’s father in the video below.
