New Gator Antonneous Clayton addicted to more games than just football

VIENNA, Ga. — Football has not always been Antonneous Clayton’s first love.

For several years, it was another game.

“I’m a huge Call of Duty fan,” Clayton said.

But Clayton is not your typical athlete who likes to play video games as a hobby. His history with his Xbox is much deeper — and darker.

“I got my first Xbox in 2010,” Clayton said. “Ever since then, no one could stop me from playing. I never came out the door at all.”

Clayton, who enrolled at Florida this week, hasn’t always been the popular 5-star recruit he is today.
