Finally able to put pen to paper, Gainesville High’s Chris Williamson said he felt “a sense of relief” by ending a nearly three-month long recruiting frenzy and signing his National Letter of Intent to play defensive back at the University of Florida. After finishing a breakout senior season in which he caught 52 passes for 1,061 yards and 14 touchdowns, the first-team all-state selection and four-star prospect verbally committed to the Gators on a Fox Sports South broadcast Monday night, before making it official on National Signing Day in front of a packed lobby Wednesday at Gainesville High School. After receiving more than 20 scholarship offers and several in-home visits, Williamson said he’s just happy for it to all be over.
