The Florida football program added a junior recruit to its roster last week as [autotag]Billy Napier[/autotag] and Co. have put the finishing touches on the team ahead of the 2024 campaign.
Hutchinson (Kansas) CC defensive lineman Brown Tarvorise originally from Palm Bay, Florida, was in the 2025 recruiting class, but an offer from the Gators during the Grill in the Ville event last Saturday changed things quickly. He returned to Gainesville on Monday and remained in the city until Wednesday.
It was on that final day that the 6-foot-2, 290-pound trench warrior decided to skip his upcoming JUCO campaign and join the Orange and Blue as the favorite this fall.
Upon receiving his offer from Florida, the great student-athlete was excited about the Gators.
“This is the best school here,” Brown said after receiving the offer from Florida. “I never thought it would be a moment like this where I would be offered by a team I saw on television. It’s just a blessing to come here.”
One of the big attractions of Brown is the system that Napier’s team has implemented. The transition from your current school to the Swamp should be smoother thanks to the similarity of the schemes.
“They’re trying to teach me all the things I’m learning at JUCO,” Brown said. “They said if I could transfer it here, it would be the same things they’re doing here. It’s surprising to them that I’m doing it there. They said they could get me right now and learn the same thing.”
As for what he thinks sets him apart at Florida, it all comes down to his physical talents.
“They say I’m a very humble guy, I have a story. They really like my height and my wingspan. They think they can just use me, and I can be that guy at defensive tackle.”
Just Rivals has a rating for Brown, whom he gives three stars as a JUCO transfer.
