Antonneous Clayton to Florida: Gators Land 4-Star DE Prospect

Florida picked up a marquee commitment Wednesday in the form of Antonneous Clayton. The defensive end provides a nice boost to the Gators' 2016 class.

Luke Stampini of 247Sports passed along comments from Clayton about the decision. He chose Florida over fellow top programs Auburn and Florida State.

"Just the overall feeling when I woke up this morning," Clayton said. "I just felt like a priority, and that deep down inside I really can contribute to the team."

Gators head coach Jim McElwain posted a celebratory message on social media after the latest addition to next year's incoming class:

It's easy to see why he's excited.
