While Florida took a big jump in this week’s rankings, it rose straight to the top in another.
Last week, Antonneous Clayton, an uncommitted 2016 prospect who’s among the top defensive ends in the class, already had Florida as his top destination after the team’s comeback win against Tennessee two weeks ago. You wouldn’t expect that to change after Florida’s big win on Saturday, and it hasn’t.
The four-star recruit from Vienna, Ga., has released an official top five via Twitter. Rounding out his top five are Auburn, Tennessee, Florida State and Oklahoma.
The 6-foot-4, 218-pound pass rusher from Dooly County High School is rated as the No. 63 overall prospect for next year’s class, according to ESPN’s recruiting rankings. Clayton made an unofficial visit to Florida on Sept. 26, the day of the Gators’ improbable 28-27 comeback win over Tennessee in The Swamp.
