Dan Mullen gets his first recruiting flip and commitment as Florida's head coach

That's a huge nab for the new coaching staff.

New Florida head coach Dan Mullen was only hired in the last week, but he is already making his presence felt on the recruiting trail. He managed to flip four-star offensive lineman Chris Bleich from UCLA as he made it official in a tweet:

Bleich was also committed to Penn State at one point, but decommitted from there back in April. He becomes the 17th commitment for the Gators recruiting class in 2018. The 6-foot-6, 313-pound lineman is ranked as a four-star recruit and No. 12 recruit in the state of Pennsylvania as well as the No. 22 player at his position according to ESPN.
