According to a report from the Montgomery Advertiser, Florida tight end commit Zech Byrd will not be signing a National Letter of Intent with the Gators today.

However, the Advertiser does report that Byrd said he still plans to sign with Florida. Why not on signing day?

"I don't want to talk about it," Byrd reportedly said.

Could Florida's class lose Byrd? It certainly seems possible, especially with the Gators already having one tight end on board in early enrollee Kemore Gamble and with Byrd never making a planned official visit to Gainesville. Each of the last two weekends Byrd was reportedly ready to take an official visit, but neither happened.

Byrd is rated as a three-star prospect by the 247Composite, an industry-generated recruiting ranking. The 6-foot-6, 235-pound tight end is rated as the No. 750 overall prospect in the nation, the No. 34 tight end in the country and the No. 38 overall player in the state of Alabama.
