Wharton cornerback Vernon Hargreaves III, the son of a Bulls assistant coach and high on the wish list of USF recruits for 2013, announced Thursday that he's committed to sign with Florida.

His father, Vernon Hargreaves Jr., has coached under Skip Holtz at Connecticut and East Carolina, but that connection wasn't enough to land a commitment from the 2013 talent.
