After just one month on the job, Sumrall has started on the right foot with a Saturday night commitment from four-star cornerback Amare Nugent (Fort Lauderdale, FL).<\/p>\n<p>The No. 105 overall prospect in the nation, Nugent (5-foot-11, 178 pounds) is Florida\u2019s first commitment in the Class of 2027. The American Heritage High School junior chose UF over national champion Indiana as well as in-state programs Florida State and Miami.<\/p>\n<p>Sumrall will now be tasked with putting together a stronger, more complete Year 1 class than his three predecessors after Will Muschamp largely picked up where Urban Meyer left off.
