Quincy Ivory commits to Florida Gators
Ivory took a visit to Florida back in June. Shortly after the JUCO EDGE prospect committed to the Gators.
“First and foremost, I want to thank God for putting me in a position to play at the next level … again,” he wrote on Twitter. “I want to thank my family for always supporting me no matter the circumstances. I want to give a special shoutout to my brothers and coaches at ELAC for holding me to a higher standard and continuing to push me every day. There is so many more people I wish I had time to thank but the real ones know who they are. Never in a million years would I have guessed this was my journey. My story is untold, unheard but still being written. I want to thank Coach Napier, Coach Armstrong, Coach Peterson, Joe Hamilton, and Jacob LaFrance for showing me why Gainesville, Florida is where I need to be. With that being said Gator Country, let’s make history.
