Daytona Beach (Fla.) Mainland defensive end Jachai Polite committed to the Florida Gators on Thursday morning. The 6-foot-3, 250-pound prospect picked UF over Miami, the school he claimed as his leader for several months. Florida's interest in Polite really took off over the summer when he impressed coaches during a camp session.

The 247Sports Composite, an industry generated average, currently ranks Polite as the nation's No. 33 strong-side defensive end in the 2016 class.
