Marial Mading, a 6-11 center, has picked up an offer from Florida.

Mading, who attended Commonwealth Academy (VA), originally committed to Rhode Island back in 2018 before choosing to transfer to Chipola College in Florida.

And it appears that Mike White and his staff are intrigued by what he could bring to the roster, with Kansas, Baylor, and LSU also among the teams interested.

White has had no trouble bringing top talent to Gainesville, as Florida enters this season with a top-five recruiting class.

The Gators return several key contributors as well and should be a preseason top 10 team.
