Four-star tight end recruit A.C. Leonard made news two weeks ago when he withdrew his commitment from Florida and left “The Swamp” early during the Gators’ 33-29 loss to the LSU Tigers.

However, after some flirting with Nebraska, Alabama, and Miami, Leonard reaffirmed his desire to suit up as a Gator Monday and said that his recruitment was over.

“Lately people have been coming into my life for the wrong reasons,” Leonard told Scout.com. “They have been giving me bad advice, but now I have had time to sit down and think things through. I am a Gator and I am shutting the whole process down.”

Leonard apologized to the Florida coaches, fans, and other recruits for his wavering commitment and plans to enroll at UF in January.

While Urban Meyer is probably thrilled to have an athlete of Leonard’s caliber, recent events have brought on some cause for concern.

The FHSAA announced Wednesday that Leonard would be suspended for the rest of the season due to an on-field altercation with an opposing player Oct. 15.

According to The Gainesville Sun, Leonard “took a swing” at an opponent, which led to his second ejection of the season.

While Leonard will be just the latest top-notch football player to lace up his cleats in Gainesville, he brings an unwelcome attitude to the Gators’ locker room.

The nation’s No. 5 tight end recruit not only displayed selfish behavior by wavering on his commitment to Florida so extremely in the media the past two weeks, but he apparently also has quite a temper.

Chris Rainey’s legal trouble earlier this season resulted in arrest No. 30 during Meyer’s tenure and if the Gators’ head coach wants to reverse that trend, he shouldn’t be recruiting problematic players like Leonard.

Even though the season suspension may humble the Jacksonville University Christian tight end and help him mature, Meyer and Florida are taking a risk by giving a scholarship to an unpredictable guy like Leonard.
