Amari Burney, one of the top safeties in the 2018 class, announced Thursday he will play his college ball for the Florida Gators.
According to Blake Alderman of 247Sports, the native of Clearwater, Florida, chose the Gators over Ohio State and Virginia Tech.
He explained the reasoning behind his decision to Alderman: "It's just the coaches and my relationship with all the coaches there, especially Coach Mac [Jim McElwain]. The things they have around the school like the academic facilities stand out, and it looked great when they showed it to me. Being close to home isn't a big factor, but it's a nice thing to have.
