Massive 6-foot-6 Alabama TE Zech Byrd announces his verbal commitment

The addition gives Florida two tight ends for its 2017 class.

A tight end out of the state of Alabama made his college decision over the weekend. On Saturday evening, tight end Zech Byrd (6-foot-6, 235 pounds, Millbrook, Al.) announced that he is now verbally committed to Florida.

"Great people to be around," Byrd told Scout.com about his decision to commit to the Gators. "I feel like I'm at home when I'm there."

Byrd is the second tight end for Florida's 2017 class — the country's No. 10 ranked tight end Kemore Gable (6-foot-4, 216 pounds, Miami, Fla.) announced in April that he would be verbally committing to Florida.
