– According to 247Sports ($), the Gators have moved into the second place (behind Clemson) for 6-foot-7, 215-pound defensive end Lorenzo Featherston (Greensboro, N.C./Page). With the need Florida has the defensive end position for the Class of 2014, this is a obviously a good development for UF. N.C. State, UNC and Tennessee make up the other programs in Featherston's top five. Florida defensive line coach Brad Lawing has had success in the past with taller defensive ends during his tenure at South Carolina, including Clifton Geathers (6-8), Devin Taylor (6-7) and Jadeveon Clowney (6-6).
As a junior, Featherston recorded 58 tackles (15 for loss) and a pair of sacks on a 7-5 squad. He's a project, who needs to add a lot of weight and technique to his game. But he's obviously a high-upside prospect, which explains why he's a consensus top-100 prospect.
– Per Rivals national analyst Mike Farrell, five-star defensive lineman Da'Shawn Hand (Woodbridge, Va./Woodbridge) will make an official visit to Florida the weekend of the Arkansas game.
Looks like Da'Shawn Hand will visit #gators oct 5 when they host Arkansas.

Hand is a consensus top-10 national prospect, and Rivals has him rated as the No.1 prospect in the country for the Class of 2014. Michigan is the presumed leader, and Alabama is a strong contender as well. At 6-foot-4 and nearly 260 pounds, Hand would be an ideal fit as a versatile strong-side end/five-technique end/three-technique tackle in Florida's multiple-look defensive scheme.
