The Gators were in need of defensive tackles and added Jordan Scott and Javier Edwards, both a handful up front due to their size. Jordan Scott comes in from Largo, Florida rated as the No.46 defensive tackle overall in his class. Javier Edwards comes from Houston, Texas after playing junior college football with Blinn College.

The Gators also fill a hole at cornerback with Elijah Blades. Blades comes in from Los Angeles, California as a four star recruit and as the No. 26 cornerback in his class. Blades is very talented with speed sporting a 4.4 40-yard dash time.
