Largo (Fla.) Pinellas Park defensive tackle Jordon Scott ended his recruitment Wednesday when he committed to Florida over Florida State as first-reported by 247Sports.com. The Gators offered the 6-foot, 340-pound nose guard earlier this spring after an in-person evaluation.

"I chose Florida because I didn't want someone else to take my spot in this class," Scott told 247Sports' Ryan Bartow. "I'm so excited. I can barely talk right now. I grew up liking the Gators and get to play for them. I love the coaches and everything about the place. I feel coach [Chris] Rumph can help me become a great player."

What are the Gators getting with Scott?

"Florida is getting someone that's going to work hard and they are getting a beast that's going to go 100-percent," the nose guard said.

The 247Sports Composite, an industry generated average, currently ranks Scott as the nation's No. 60 defensive tackle in the 2017 class.

The Gators are now up to six commitments in the 2017 class with the addition of Scott.
