Florida earned a commitment from the son of Addie Lewis and Donald Elam in October, but Matt decided to re-open his recruitment a crack this spring. The Gators, Mountaineers, Virginia Tech, Georgia, Alabama, Florida State, Miami and Boston College are all on board with the versatile youngster.
"I'm still looking around and seeing what schools have for me. I'm planning to come up to West Virginia," Elam said.
He continued, "The way (the Mountaineers) use their safeties -- it fits me. They blitz a lot. They play a lot of man [coverage]. They give people the opportunity to show how great they are. What stood out to me the most was when I saw the rotation of the safeties. Five of their safeties played more than 30 plays. I was like, wow, that's a lot. That's great."
Elam also mentioned the the Gators' depth at safety is a concern, but that he loves to compete and won't drop Florida on that factor alone.
