The Florida Gators picked up commitment number 23 on Monday night from defensive back Tony Nelson (6-3, 190, Montgomery, AL Carver), who made the decision just days after picking up the offer from the Gators.
“I decided to commit to Florida this morning and it feels very good to become a Gator,” Nelson said. “Coach [Drew] Hughes and I have a great relationship with each other and my relationship is getting better with the other coaches.
Last week Florida Gators head coach Jim McElwain surprised Nelson with the offer and also gave him a message.
“Coach McElwain was the coach that offered me that last week,” Nelson said.
