While out on the recruiting trail on Friday, Florida Gators defensive coordinator Todd Grantham dropped by for a visit with Valencia (CA) College of the Canyons junior college defensive tackle Dorian Gerald.

The Gators have made the former Tennessee commitment a priority under new head coach Dan Mullen and defensive coordinator Todd Grantham has also been in constant contact as well. Gerald shared the news of Grantham's visit through his Twitter account later in the day.

Gerald originally committed to the former Tennessee staff, but has since backed off that verbal pledge with the turnover in Knoxville. The 6-foot-3, 260-pounder has already taken an official to see the Louisville Cardinals right before the 'dead period' in December. Going forward he plans to possibly see Miami this weekend, but admits the trip is still very much up in the air for now. Texas A&M and Florida are also expected to land official visits going forward as well.

The 247Sports Composite, an industry generated average, currently ranks Gerald as the Nation's No. 27 overall junior college prospect in the 2018 recruiting class.
