Versatility is an incredibly valuable trait for any young football prospect. It makes the player diverse in terms of what he can do on the field. The versatility also gives a coach the flexibility to plug in the said athlete at multiple spots -- especially if depth at a position is thin.
#UF has landed DE Jachai Polite. #Gators now have 22 commits in their 2016 class.

Florida head coach Jim McElwain will be able to enjoy this premise, with the recent commitment of 2016 athlete Jachai Polite.
A Mainland High School product, Polite opted for the Gators over offers from Miami, Tennessee, North Carolina, and Mississippi State, among others.
At 6'4", 226 pounds, he's a terror off the edge as a pass-rusher. Not only can he get after opposing quarterbacks with his hand in the dirt, but he's also adept at rushing whilst standing up in a hybrid defensive end/outside linebacker role.
Polite can play on the other side of the ball as a tight end if need be. Based upon his Hudl tape, Polite is an active and athletic player with a motor that never stops revving.
He appears to be a very good pickup for McElwain and his staff.
