Gators’ Meyer still on job as recruiter
With national signing day less than a month away, Florida coach Urban Meyer continues to be “actively involved in recruiting” for the Gators despite announcing Dec. 27 he would take a leave of absence for health reasons.
Meyer, who was hospitalized late last month with chest pain after the SEC championship game, also has been working to help complete the Gators’ interim coaching staff, which lacks a defensive backs coach.
Florida spokesman Steve McClain told reporters that Meyer’s workload has been limited to mostly phone calls since announcing the leave.
Offensive coordinator Steve Addazio was named interim head coach.
National signing day is Feb. 3, and details of Meyer’s leave were still uncertain, McClain said Thursday.
“There’s not really a timetable on that,” McClain said.
Mack Brown, a running back from Martin Luther King High School in Lithonia, Ga., is among the Gators’ 21 commitments who make up one of the country’s top recruiting classes for 2010.
