Five-star Matt Elam who was committed to Florida for over a year recently left the Gators so he could commit to the Florida State Seminoles after hearing about the Meyer situation, and was also worried about the recruiting class that included players like Jordan Haden, Jonathan Dowling, Jaylen Watkins and Demar Dorse who all can play the safety position.

Now it has been less than a week since his decision to decommitt, and he is leaning back to the Gators.

“I’m decomitting,” Elam said in a text to UGASports after being asked if he was still headed to Tallahassee.

“Florida is first for me right now, followed by Georgia and Florida State is third,” Elam said.

Elam is still not solid on Florida just yet, he is still considering Georgia. When he went on an official visit to UGA, he said it really felt like home. Elam really would like top consider the Bulldogs because they only have six safeties who are on scholarships and Florida and Florida State both have eight. But if you look at Reshad Jones from Georgia, he is on his way to the NFL draft so that leaves only five. Elam had no idea that Jones was going to leave to enter the NFL draft.

Elam is set to play in the U.S Army All-American Bowl this weekend and is also expected to make an announcement on his final decision where he will be going.
