Florida football recruiting: Gators land DeAndre Goolsby

Some consider Goolsby one of the country’s best tight ends.

Kim Klement-USA TODAY Sports

The Florida Gators landed a commitment Friday from tight end recruit DeAndre Goolsby. Goolsby is a consensus three-star out of Derby (Kansas).

Florida beat out, perhaps surprisingly according to Twitter chatter, Arkansas and Kansas State for his commitment. Some recruiting services rate Goolsby as the No. 3 tight end in the country. He is 6’4, 225 pounds and very athletic, as you can see in his highlight tape.

Goolsby is the 15th commitment of the 2014 class for the Florida Gators. Florida has a smaller, but very talented group of commitments.
