Recruiting is open again for Jackson-Olin's Jammal Abrams.

Abrams committed to Florida back in February as a linebacker, but the addition of about 30 pounds meant a move to defensive end, which is where he'll play for the Mustangs this season.

In a rare move on the recruiting scene, Florida now wants to re-evaluate him as a defensive lineman, not a linebacker. Jackson-Olin coach Tim Vakakes described it as a re-evaluation, not a de-commitment.

Florida remains a possible destination for Abrams, but the Gators want to see him as a defensive lineman. He also has offers from Louisville, Florida Atlantic, Memphis and others.

"Everybody is reevaluating him with his hand on the ground," Vakakes told 247sports. "That's where he is going to be very successful because he is so physical. We started tinkering with it in spring, and with the needs of our team we thought we may need him down there."

Vakakes also called the 6-foot-3, 245-pound Abrams "the most physical kid we have" and said it's easy to project he could eventually weigh 270 pounds.

Abrams is part of a star-studded Jackson-Olin defense that includes senior Clemson commit Vonta Bentley at inside linebacker and 2020 Auburn commit Quindarrius Robinson at outside linebacker.

That's a primary reason Jackson-Olin enters the season with big expectations, despite missing the playoffs last year. The Mustangs open the season Aug. 24 at Fairfield.

"I knew he we would outgrow middle linebacker," Vakakes said in an text message to AL.com.
