Pensacola (Fla.) Escambia Top247 wide reciever Jacob Copeland decommitted from Florida on Saturday night. The 6-foot-1, 195-pound prospect has long flirted with Alabama, even prior to the Gators firing head coach Jim McElwain.

Copeland originally committed to the Gators back in August. A big reason for that pledge was the longstanding relationship he built with McElwain, who began recruiting Copeland shortly after being hired at UF.

The industry-generated 247Sports Composite currently ranks Copeland as the nation's No. 45 overall prospect in the 2018 class.
