The Florida Gators added another transfer on Friday just hours after one of their official visitors left campus.
Arkansas offensive line transfer Devon Manuel committed to Florida after taking an official visit to Gainesville the last two days.
“Grateful for all the programs that recruited me. With that being said I am 100% GatorsFB thank you Coach Napier,” Manuel tweeted.
Manuel is a redshirt sophomore who will have two years left to play after he redshirted his freshman year.
The offensive lineman played in nine games last year for the Razorbacks at tackle and should provide depth for the Gators.
Manuel joins an offensive line unit that is in desperate need of depth especially at the tackle position and while the SEC lineman doesn’t have a ton of experience, he knows what it takes to play in the SEC.
With the commitment from Manuel, the Gators have now landed two offensive line transfers as San Diego State lineman Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson signed with the Gators in December.
On Friday, the Florida Gators made another addition to their roster, securing a commitment from Arkansas offensive line transfer Devon Manuel shortly after an official visitor concluded their campus visit. Manuel, a redshirt sophomore, expressed his gratitude to the programs that recruited him and declared his full commitment to GatorsFB in a tweet, giving credit to Coach Napier.
Having redshirted his freshman year, Manuel brings two remaining years of eligibility to the Gators. In the previous season, he participated in nine games for the Razorbacks as a tackle, showcasing his versatility on the offensive line. His addition is expected to bolster the Gators’ depth, particularly at the tackle position.
The offensive lineman’s experience in the highly competitive SEC will contribute valuable insights to the Gators’ unit. While Manuel might not have an extensive track record, his understanding of the demands of SEC play is anticipated to be beneficial for the team.
This move comes at a crucial time for the Gators, as they address the pressing need for depth in the offensive line. Manuel is set to join San Diego State lineman Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson, who inked a commitment with the Gators in December. These acquisitions underscore the team’s strategic efforts to fortify their offensive line and enhance their competitiveness in the upcoming seasons.
