Nesta Silvera walked onto the stage at American Heritage carrying a Chucky doll.
The doll is a reference to a horror film, but it’s also a reference to the Florida Gators. Former UF defensive lineman Dominique Easley started the tradition of carrying the doll with him before games. But Silvera didn’t end up choosing Florida. The man sitting next to him did instead.
Andrew Chatfield, a 6-2, 221-pound defensive end chose the Gators after coming into the day uncommitted. He was the first defensive lineman to commit to Florida in this class and is Florida’s biggest commit so far on National Signing Day.
