Florida lands commitment from 4-star WR Justin Watkins
If the pledge holds true, Florida addressed one of its primary areas of need over the weekend, drawing a commitment from 4-star wide receiver Justin Watkins.
Watkins is ranked the No. 21 wide receiver in the Class of 2018, according to the 247Sports composite.

Florida took on transfers Van Jefferson (Ole Miss) and Trevon Grimes (Ohio State) at the position earlier this offseason, though both are awaiting official NCAA clearance that they will indeed be available this year.
But even in his news conference to announce his early signing class, Gators coach Dan Mullen reiterated that receiver remained a position of need for his team. The Gators are still in the hunt for 4-star WR Jacob Copeland, among others.
For now, they look a little stronger with Watkins on board, but they aren’t done yet.
SEC Country’s Zach Abolverdi takes a closer look at the rest of Florida’s weekend visitors.
