The hard work of Florida Gators head coach Billy Napier has paid off in a major way.
Earlier on Thursday, the Gators received an expert prediction from On3 Sports’ Steve Wiltfong that they would land a commitment from elite linebacker Izayia Williams. Less than 10 hours later, Williams officially committed to the Gators.
Florida Gators receive commitment from LB Izayia Williams
Williams is a big commitment for the Gators, especially with how few commits they have. Williams is the 12th-ranked player in the class per On3 Sports and the third overall commit. The other two commits for the Gators:
- QB Will Griffin: 4-star
- S Devin Jackson: 3-star
The Gators did lose four-star cornerback Jaelen Waters as he decommitted when Will Harris left the program to go coach at Miami. It was a pretty sizable loss, but losing out on Harris was still a major blow. Williams will be a solid player for defensive coordinator Ron Roberts.
