Florida's current secondary might be the best in the country.

The Gators are also building a pretty formidable secondary for the future.

Joshua Shaw, the country's No. 3-rated cornerback prospect by Scouts Inc., committed to the Gators on Tuesday during a news conference. Florida now has seven defensive back prospects for the 2010 class.

Shaw, who's from Palmdale, Calif., is expected to enroll early and be on campus in time for spring practice in March. He picked Florida among a group of finalists that also included Southern California, LSU and Ohio State.

An Under Armor All-American, the 6-foot-2, 181-pound Shaw is rated as the No. 33 prospect overall in the ESPNU 150.

The Gators have an SEC-high 10 commitments now that are members of the ESPNU 150, and all 10 are ranked in the top 71. Seven of those 10 are ranked among the top 33 prospects nationally.

So while most teams are recruiting, Urban Meyer's Gators are selecting.
