Florida is one of four teams that will reportedly participate in the 2020 Emerald Coast Classic.

Illinois, Iowa State, and Oregon are set to join the Gators at the event, which will take place at Northwest Florida State College.

Tennessee is a part of the 2019 field and will be joined by Florida State, Purdue, and VCU.

Mike White’s team will play in the Charleston Classic next season, with UConn, Xavier, Miami, Penn State, Saint Joseph’s, Towson, and Missouri State also in the tournament.

The Gators should be an SEC title contender as they’ll return several key contributors while bringing in a top 10 recruiting class.
