The coaching change at the University of Florida doesn't seem to have slowed down the Gators recruiting efforts as they landed a commitment from Miami (Fla.) Northwestern athlete Nigel Bethel. The three-star Sunshine State athlete shared the news of his commitment through his Twitter account on Sunday afternoon.

The 5-foot-11, 160-pounder picked the Gators over offers from Georgia, Louisville, Miami and others. He is committed to the Gators as an athlete as interim head coach Randy Shannon feels Bethel has the ability to play on their side of the ball at the next level. He is the second commitment from Miami (Fla.) Northwestern, joining three-star cornerback Divaad Wilson.

The 247Sports Composite, an industry generated average, currently ranks Bethel as the No. 219 overall prospect in the state of Florida for the 2018 recruiting class. He is the No. 19 member for the Gators 2018 recruiting class, which currently ranks No. 7 in the country.
