SOCIAL SLANT: Major buzz following Kelby Collins' pledge to Florida
Billy Napier and the Gators hit the jackpot on Saturday afternoon, as All-American defensive lineman Kelby Collins announced his commitment to Florida.
Alabama, Georgia, Oklahoma and South Carolina were additional schools under consideration; however, today’s decision ultimately came down to the Gators and Crimson Tide.
Representing Gardendale (Ala.) High, the 6-foot-4, 265-pound Collins ranks as the No. 60 prospect overall and No. 7 defensive lineman. That is according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.
As you can expect, UF fans and staff members are brimming with excitement following today’s news.
Below are some of the notable reactions from social media.
