Harrison Moore details why Florida was the pick

The Florida Gators already had buzz with Harrison Moore before he set foot on campus earlier this week for his official visit. He has connections to several current Florida staff members who arrived in Gainesville from Georgia Tech, as well as other portal commits from GT. Those mattered, but ultimately it was what he saw while in town from the program and his future position coach that sold him.

“I’m excited about everything Florida has to offer, and I think we’re going to win a lot of football games. Ultimately, this decision came down to what’s the best way for me to make it to the NFL. Even if Florida has an off year, they send three or four guys to the league. They have amazing development, and through the process, I was able to talk to [Phil] Trautwein. He just blew me away.”

The track record of Coach Traurtwein was also a major selling point that helped seal the deal for Harrison Moore to be a Gator.

“Really, what stood out was hearing how he talks about the game of football,” he said of Trautwein. “He told me a stat about how every center he’s coached now plays in the NFL. That’s a pretty good stat, and I told him that I’m going to be the next one.”

The Rivals Industry, a weighted average of the three major recruiting services, currently ranks Harrison Moore as the No. 691 overall transfer prospect and the No. 61-ranked transfer offensive lineman. He has two years left to play at Florida.
