From SEC Country:
During the six-year period from 2003-08, the Gators signed a total of eight players from talent-rich Texas and five players out of Alabama, many of them a by-product of Florida’s 2006 and 2008 national championships.
But in the six years following those title runs, UF signed just two Alabama prospects and zero from Texas.
McElwain & Co. continue trying to gain traction in recruiting outside of Florida. Since signing day, 54 of the 58 offers handed out by the Gators have been to out-of-state recruits.
UF coaches were able to get a head start on 2017 recruiting during the December and January contact periods. By early February, they had offered 57 in-state recruits for 2017 (61 now).
Of the 179 offers to date, two-thirds of them (118) are to out-of-state prospects from 25 different states.
