Florida has reportedly landed a commitment from Louisiana Tech transfer Anthony Duruji.

The 6-7 forward was an impact player for the Bulldogs, which helped him earn plenty of interest from programs around the country.

However, he’s now set to join Mike White and company in Gainesville.

As a sophomore, Duruji must sit out next season and will have two years of eligibility remaining when he returns to the court for the 2020-21 season.

He averaged 12.2 points and 6.2 rebounds in while posting 1.2 blocks per game this past season.

Florida is set to add one of the nation’s top recruiting classes to the roster next season, with 5-star prospects Scottie Lewis and Tre Mann joining 4-star center Omar Payne and 3-star center Jason Jitoboh.

With Duruji added to the mix the following year, the Gators should continue to be an SEC contender.
