Florida football recruiting: 2018 WR Jalynn Williams commits to Gators

Class of 2018 wide receiver Jalynn Williams became the Florida Gators’ first commitment of the 2018 class on Friday, announcing his commitment on Twitter shortly before noon.

Ryan Bartow of 247Sports was first to report Williams’s commitment, which the St. Petersburg High junior confirmed with retweets of other outlets announcing his commitment.

Williams also tweeted and then swiftly deleted an original tweet announcing his commitment, before later sending a similar one:

The differences between the two? Williams wrote “I’m am” in the first tweet, did not include the clasped hands emoji until the second, and did not use a comma prior to the appositive phrase “THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA” in his first tweet.
