GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Four-star linebacker Jeremiah Moon became the fourth commitment to pop for Florida from Friday Night Lights, opting to go public with his pledge early Saturday afternoon.

After telling 247Sports on Friday that he might commit, Moon did just that, informing head coach Jim McElwain of his decision.

Moon, a 6-foot-4, 205-pound outside linebacker from Birmingham (Ala.) Hoover camped at Florida on June 19. He enjoyed his visit then and liked his return trip this weekend just as much.

"It's beautiful and definitely a college town," he said. "I just like all the palm trees and the scooter riding. It's a nice feeling."

Moon is rated as the No. 261 overall player in the country by the 247Composite, an industry-generated recruiting ranking. He is also rated as the No. 19 outside linebacker in the nation and the No. 6 player in the state of Alabama.
