GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Florida has awarded a second walk-on a scholarship heading into the 2019 season.

Walk-on long snapper Jacob Tilghman, who won the starting job in fall camp after Ryan Farr graduated following the 2018 season, announced on his Twitter account on Wednesday that he had been awarded a scholarship.

"Blessed to announce that I’ve earned a FULL SCHOLARSHIP for football at the University of Florida!" Tilghman wrote. "It’s been a long time coming but I wouldn’t change what I’ve been through for anything! Stay on your grind and you’ll get what you’re working for!"

Tilghman played in three games in relief of Farr as UF's long snapper last fall, making his debut against Colorado State. He also played against Idaho and Florida State later in the season.

A redshirt senior from Daytona Beach, Fla., Tilghman is listed at 6 foot 2, 214 pounds.

With Tilghman on scholarship now, Swamp247 tracks Florida with 78 scholarship players heading into the season. For now, we've still got offensive lineman Wardrick Wilson on our scholarship count, though Wilson has not yet enrolled at Florida due to an issue obtaining a visa.

Florida previously awarded walk-on offensive lineman Tanner Rowell with a scholarship during fall camp.

The NCAA mandates that FBS programs have no more than 85 scholarship players during an athletics season.
