Around 11 a.m. on Wednesday, three four-star athletes sat at a table at Lakeland High School with their families standing in the background.
On the far left sat Deyavie Hammond, a burly 350-pound offensive tackle, who is 174th-ranked overall prospect. Next to Hammond, linebacker Lloyd Summerall, a No.128-ranked recruit, clutched a chucky doll in his lap. And on the right, tight end Keon Zipperer, ranked No.63, held another chucky doll close to his neon green shirt.
One by one, the highly touted prospects announced their choices of the colleges they intended to sign with, each declaring that he would join Dan Mullen and the Florida Gators.
