Transferring Michigan forward Jon Horford has landed at Florida, according to a report by ESPN’s Jeff Goodman.
The 6-foot-10 Horford, who averaged 3.8 points and 4.2 rebounds last year, will be available to play immediately this season.
“He just feels really confident about it,” Elizabeth Horford told MLive. “He’s very confident about getting the minutes he needs.”
Horford is the younger brother of Al Horford of the Atlanta Hawks, who won back-to-back NCAA titles at Florida in 2006-7.
“Al’s legacy definitely came into (Jon picking Florida),” Elizabeth Horford told MLive. “That and he just loves the coaches there.
Horford could compete for playing time alongside rising sophomore forward Chris Walker, as well as Damontre Harris and Dorian Finney-Smith. Florida, which lost in the national semifinals to UConn, also adds freshman forward Devin Robinson and Duke transfer Alex Murphy, who is expected to become eligible in December.
