DL Stephon Shivers has committed to the Florida Gators

The Florida Gators took their 14^e dedication of the Class of 2025 on Sunday afternoon after an official visit to Gainesville.

Defensive lineman Stephon Shivers (6-4, 365, Brentwood, TN. Academy) committed to the Florida Gators on Sunday after an official visit.

“Gator Nation, it’s our time,” Shivers wrote on social media.

Shivers was released from Georgia last week after spending eight months with the Bulldogs.

Defensive line coach Gerald Chatman has been heavily recruiting Shivers for more than a year and has increased the pressure on the Tennessee native in recent months.

Shivers, a two-sport athlete at Brentwood Academy, also plays basketball, where he has scored more than a thousand points on the hardwood.

Chatman spoke highly of Shivers and his ability to not only be a force in the running game, but also his ability to get behind the quarterback in passing situations.

Shivers is a big addition to the class as he joins defensive linemen Jeramiah McCloud and Jalen Wiggins in the class as the Gators look to add more depth at the position this offseason.
