CB Teddy Foster Signs With the Gators

It didn't take long for Florida to shut down the late-blossoming recruitment of Foster, which accelerated between his junior and senior seasons of high school. 

UF, Miami. Southern California, North Carolina, Oregon State, Vanderbilt and West Virginia were among the Power 5 programs to place scholarship offers in Foster's inbox earlier this year. 

Fewer than two months after receiving his offer from Florida, and about one month after checking out the school on an official basis, Foster committed to the Gators on July 14. 

Foster was a frequent visitor for Florida games during the 2023 season, having attended the Gators' matchups with McNeese State, Tennessee, Arkansas and Florida State. 

"Amazing,” Foster described The Swamp to All Gators following Florida vs. McNeese State in Week 2. “Great environment. It was really fun in person, my first home game here ever, the environment, the fans. I mean, we took a loss week one, it was good to see the fan base come back, bounce back, full stands and just support the team.” 

The 247Sports composite rankings list Foster as the No. 63 cornerback and No. 803 prospect nationwide in the class of 2024. 

Foster is currently Florida's only cornerback commitment in the 2024 cycle, although the Gators possess commitments from prep prospect Josiah Davis and Oregon transfer Trikweze Bridges at the safety position.

Florida was the final school known to have offered Foster before his summertime pledge, entering his recruitment roughly two months prior and quickly rising to the top. Foster tallied 69 tackles with six for loss, three interceptions and 17 pass breakups over two seasons as a member of Cardinal Mooney's secondary. He also has experience playing wide receiver, having caught 41 passes for 675 yards and eight touchdowns in high school. After playing football in his early years, Foster took an extended break from the sport to pursue AAU basketball but returned to the gridiron in high school.
