Anthony Jennings is off the board.

The South Florida standout has committed to Florida, giving the new staff a dynamic playmaker after a recruitment that pushed close to 40 offers. Florida made its move early, and never let up on the No. 204 prospect in the Rivals300.

“They got on me right away, when the new staff came in,” Jennings told Rivals. “The old staff recruited me hard too, then as soon as Coach Sumrall got there, they were texting me, calling me… it was just the way they recruited me… they made me feel special.”

That early push carried over once Jennings made it to campus, where everything clicked.

“As soon as I set foot on campus for that Junior Day with the new staff, I felt the love,” he said. “Just seeing new things and being there for the first time with them, I fell in love with it.”

Relationships ultimately separated Florida from the rest of his options. Jennings pointed to the full staff’s involvement — not just his position coach — as a major factor in his decision.

“It takes a whole village to develop a kid,” he said. “It’s not just my receiver coach (Marcus Davis) hitting me up. The head coach, the whole staff — even coaches on the other side of the ball — they all reached out. It felt like the whole program wanted me.”

That feeling, combined with scheme fit and development, made Florida the clear choice.

“I love the offense and what they do,” Jennings said. “I feel like I can come in and dominate in that system. Coach Faulkner runs a great offense, I know I have a chance to make an impact as a freshman and it is a great fit for me.
