In a significant turn of events, the Florida Gators have officially secured the commitment of four-star athlete Darryon Williams, a highly sought-after recruit from Tampa’s Plant High School. Williams, who had originally pledged to Florida State University (FSU) in April 2024, announced today that he is decommitting from FSU and has chosen to join the Gators. This shift in commitment is a major win for Florida and marks a pivotal moment in their 2025 recruiting class.
Williams’ decision comes after a highly successful official visit to Gainesville, where he was impressed by Florida’s coaching staff and the program’s vision for his future. The Gators’ commitment to developing talent and their strong offensive strategy were key factors in Williams’ decision to make the change. He was particularly drawn to Florida’s promising future and the opportunity to contribute immediately to their success. Williams’ versatility as an athlete, capable of making an impact on both offense and defense, was also a deciding factor in his choice.

This commitment is a huge boost for Florida’s recruiting efforts, adding a top-tier talent to their 2025 class. Williams’ decision to join the Gators is expected to elevate the team’s recruiting profile even further as they look to strengthen their roster. Fans and coaches alike are excited about the future impact Williams will have on Florida football, as he prepares to start his collegiate career with the Gators in the upcoming season.
