According to Derek Tyson at GatorNation: Former Maryland starting left tackle Max Garcia said Saturday he will transfer to Florida.

"Yes, I have committed to the University of Florida," Garcia said. "I'm a Florida Gator."

The 6-foot-4, 290-pound offensive lineman who is originally from Norcross, Ga., chose Florida over Georgia, Clemson, Ole Miss and Southern California.

Garcia, who started all 12 games as a sophomore, will have to sit out in 2012, but will have two years of eligibility remaining.

Ranked a three-star prospect out of high school, Garcia had scholarship offers from Florida State, Clemson and South Carolina.
