Antwaun Powell commits to the Florida Gators

The Florida Gators continued their big recruiting momentum on Wednesday afternoon as they received an out of state commitment.

Defensive end Antwaun Powell (6-3, 234, Portsmouth, VA. IC Norcom) committed to Florida over Virginia Tech on Wednesday afternoon after taking an official visit to Gainesville last week.

“I feel the best decision for me and I’m excited to announce that I’m 100% committed to the University of Florida,” Powell tweeted.

Powell had a chance during his official visit to meet with defensive coordinator Todd Grantham about how he would fit into Florida’s defense.

“It’s called the BUCK position and I think it fits me well,” Powell said of where Florida wants him to play.
