Paul Wilson, WR for the Lakeland Dreadnaughts, followed fellow team-mates Rainey, Black and the Pouncey twins and committed to the Gators!!!!
Wilson and his family came up from Lakeland Monday to get a closer look at the University of Florida campus. They spent the afternoon touring the campus and facilities with wide receivers Coach Billy Gonzales. After an extensive look into all that Florida has to offer academically and athletically, the Wilsons were sitting in the office asking questions of Gonzales when Meyer invited them down the hall to his office.
"He [Meyer] told me what he liked about me," said Wilson, who caught 43 passes for 750 yards and seven touchdowns for the Lakeland Dreadnaughts last year. "He said that he knows I have great hands and that he doesn't know how fast I'm going to be at this level but he'll put size on me and he knows that if it's a third down and the Gators need a first down, he can get the ball to me and he knows I'll catch it.
"Then he said, 'I want to offer you a scholarship to play football for the University of Florida.' I said, Coach, I'll be honest with you, I've been to Notre Dame and I've been to South Carolina, but what I really want is to be a Gator! I committed to Meyer right then."
GO GATORS!!!!!!!!
