Gators football signees for the 2019 Class who have been validated by the UF compliance office:
MOHAMOUD DIABATE
Position: Linebacker
Height: 6-foot-3.5
Weight: 215 pounds
Ranking: No. 8 outside linebacker, No. 215 nationally
Hometown: Auburn, Ala.
High School: Auburn
Early Enrollee?: Yes
Early analysis: Diabate could end up playing several spots at UF, but the early plan is to use him at the 'Buck' position once he steps on campus. Diabate has an opportunity — and the talent — to play early at UF.
KINGSLEY EGUAKUN
Position: Offensive lineman
Height: 6-foot-3
Weight: 293 pounds
Ranking: No. 41 offensive guard
Hometown: Jacksonville
High School: Sandalwood
Early Enrollee?: Yes
Early analysis: Eguakun is one of seven offensive linemen signing with the Gators this cycle and he's poised to slot in at guard. UF will look to replace both starters at guard after the Peach Bowl, meaning Eguakun gives Florida some much-needed depth at the position.
DEYAVIE HAMMOND
Position: Offensive lineman
Height: 6-foot-3
Weight: 353 pounds
Ranking: No. 12 offensive guard, No. 174 nationally
Hometown: Lakeland
High School: Lakeland
Early Enrollee?:
Early analysis: Hammond is a highly touted prospect formerly committed to Alabama, but the Gators were the first SEC program to extend him an offer. He may be the most collegiate-ready of Florida's offensive linemen signees.
WILLIAM HARROD
Position: Offensive tackle
Height: 6-foot-5
Weight: 312 pounds
Ranking: No. 27 offensive tackle, No. 307 nationally
Hometown: Fort Washington, MD
High School: National Christian Academy
Early Enrollee?: Yes
Early analysis: UF needs a true tackle or three, and Harrod should contend for a role in the rotation strictly due to the numbers. Getting him on campus in January is big for UF's depth in the spring on the line.
JAYDON HILL
Position: Defensive back
Height: 6-foot
Weight: 174 pounds
Ranking: No. 29 cornerback, No. 276 nationally
Hometown: Madison, Ala.
High School: Bob Jones
Early Enrollee?: Yes
Early analysis: Landing Hill was huge for the Gators considering their need for depth behind CJ Henderson and Trey Dean. Like Marco Wilson, Hill is recovering from a torn ACL, although indications are he's progressed well in his recovery. He won't be ready for spring, but he'll enroll early and begin learning the playbook regardless.
TYRON HOPPER
Position: Linebacker
Height: 6-foot-2
Weight: 205 pounds
Ranking: No. 7 outside linebacker, No. 151 nationally
Hometown: Roswell
High School: Roswell, Ga.
Early Enrollee?: No
Early analysis: Signing Hopper was huge for Mullen, especially considering the aggressive push from South Carolina late in the cycle. Hopper won't enroll until the summer, but his talent still makes him a candidate for early playing time.
JAELIN HUMPHRIES
Position: Defensive tackle
Height: 6-foot-3
Weight: 303 pounds
Ranking: No. 17 defensive tackle, No. 272 nationally
Hometown: Lawrenceville, Ga.
High School: Mountain View
Early Enrollee?: No
Early analysis: Humphries marks the first defensive tackle signed by Mullen — meaning the Gators had to sign a top one to make up for the drop-off at the position. The Gators have depth waiting in the wings, however, so Humphries won't be rushed along.
JALON JONES
Position: Quarterback
Height: 6-foot-3
Weight: 205 pounds
Ranking: No. 11 dual-threat quarterback, No. 313 nationally
Hometown: Richmond, Va.
High School: Henrico
Early Enrollee?: Yes
Early analysis: Jones will likely benefit from the redshirt rule, meaning he'll see the field in 2019 in four games. UF now has four scholarship quarterbacks, but it seems inevitable the Joneses will battle for the job sooner rather than later.
CHESTER KIMBROUGH
Position: Defensive back
Height: 5-foot-10
Weight: 167 pounds
Ranking: No. 47 cornerback
Hometown: New Orleans, La.
High School: Warren Easton
Early Enrollee?: No
Early analysis: The Gators have depth at the position, although Kimbrough's athleticism and sound tackling makes him a candidate to play on special teams from Day 1. And Mullen has been a proponent of rewarding those who make plays on special teams with playing time.
DIONTE MARKS
Position: Wide receiver
Height: 6-foot-1
Weight: 180 pounds
Ranking: No. 105 wide receiver
Hometown: Deland
High School: Deland
Early Enrollee?: No
Early analysis: Marks can play either on the outside or in the slot, and he also gives the Gators a potential returner down the road. His talents were on full display during a stellar season at Deland, and Marks' skill-set could see him hit the field in some capacity sooner rather than later.
JESIAH PIERRE
Position: Linebacker
Height: 6-foot-2
Weight: 220 pounds
Ranking: No. 42 outside linebacker
Hometown: Mount Dora, FL
High School: Mount Dora Christian Academy
Early Enrollee?: No
Early analysis: Pierre is part of Florida's dynamic linebacker class, and he's going to slide right inside for the Gators. He'll work to carve out a role when he arrives in Summer.
RILEY SIMONDS
Position: Offensive lineman
Height: 6-foot-4
Weight: 300 pounds
Ranking: No. 29 offensive guard
Hometown: Buford, Ga.
High School: Buford High
Early Enrollee?: No
Early analysis: Simonds wasn't expected to sign with the Gators until February, but the guard prospect couldn't wait to put pen to paper. He's a top-30 offensive guard in this class and gives Florida more depth in the future at a position of need.
LLOYD SUMMERALL
Position: Defensive end
Height: 6-foot-5
Weight: 220 pounds
Ranking: No. 15 weakside defensive end, No. 237 nationally
Hometown: Lakeland
High School: Lakeland
Early Enrollee?: No
Early analysis: The addition of Summerall is huge for the Gators. He's a true defensive end, and they're bound to lose several after this season. He could earn himself a spot in the rotation, but he'll be a critical cog after the 2019 season.
MICHAEL TARQUIN
Position: Offensive lineman
Height: 6-foot-5
Weight: 290 pounds
Ranking: No. 24 offensive tackle, No. 281 nationally
Hometown: Citra, Fla
High School: North Marion
Early Enrollee?: Yes
Early analysis: Tarquin became the first prospect to send in his signed letter of intent Wednesday, ending a commitment that seemed set to finish in Miami. Florida flipped him on Nov. 30 and he'll be on campus come January to contribute to a UF offensive line in for a significant overhaul.
JA'MARKIS WESTON
Position: Wide receiver
Height: 6-foot-3
Weight: 205 pounds
Ranking: No. 72 wide receiver
Hometown: Clewiston, FL
High School: Clewiston
Early Enrollee?: Yes
Early Analysis: Florida has an abundance of wide receivers, meaning Weston will have time to learn the ropes from UF's upperclassmen next season. He'll likely land outside rather than in the slot.
TRENT WHITTEMORE
Position: Safety/wide receiver
Height: 6-foot-3
Weight: 190 pounds
Ranking: No. 65 safety
Hometown: Gainesville
High School: Buchholz
Early Enrollee?: No
Early Analysis: Whittemore seems poised to end up at wide receiver — one of several positions he played for the Bobcats this season. He won't arrive on campus until just before the summer, meaning he'll have a more narrow window to carve out a role in 2019.
WARDRICK WILSON
Position: Offensive lineman
Height: 6-foot-4
Weight: 305 pounds
Ranking: No. 20 offensive guard
Hometown: Opa Locka
High School: Miami Carol City
Early Enrollee?: Yes
Early Analysis: Despite being listed as a guard, Wilson's future may be at the tackle position. The position was a point of emphasis for Florida, and getting seven offensive linemen to sign early is a victory for Florida.
NAY'QUAN WRIGHT
Position: Running back
Height: 5-foot-8
Weight: 188 pounds
Ranking: No. 15 running back, No. 264 nationally
Hometown: Opa Locka, Fl
High School: Miami Carol City
Early Enrollee?: No
Early Analysis: Florida needed to add at least one running back in this class, and Wright gives the Gators a dynamic one. He had a standout season for Miami Carol City after coming back from injury and will certainly be a candidate for early playing time.
ETHAN WHITE
Position: Offensive tackle
Height: 6-foot-5
Weight: 360 pounds
Ranking: No. 48 offensive tackle
Hometown: Clearwater
High School: Clearwater
Early Enrollee?: Yes
Early Analysis: Let's not mince words here: White is massive — which also means he may need to put in more work in the weight room than the other six offensive line signees in Gainesville. If the next nine months go according to plan, White could crack the rotation. But early indications are he's a project in Year 1.
KEON ZIPPERER
Position: Tight end
Height: 6-foot-2
Weight: 240 pounds
Ranking: No. 4 tight end
Hometown: Lakeland
High School: Lakeland
Early Enrollee?: No
Early Analysis: With the addition of Zipperer, the Gators went 3-for-3 in Lakeland — a huge coup in an area Florida looked to re-take. Zipperer could score each time he touches the football, and only the future will tell just where he ends up. Beating out Miami for his services will pay dividends for Mullen sooner than later as well.
