De’Voun Kendrick is staying home. The Tampa (Fla. ) Carrollwood Day defensive lineman has committed to Florida , giving the new staff a powerful in-state addition at 6-foot-4, 300 pounds.

Kendrick chose Florida over a group that included Texas A&M , Georgia Tech and Louisville after a recruitment that brought in close to 30 offers. Florida entered the picture in March with an offer and quickly took control. “Before they even offered me, I was like, I can definitely see myself there,” Kendrick told Rivals.

“They stayed in contact with me almost every single day after they offered. I knew they really believed in me. ” That consistency made the difference.
