GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Junior day is where it all begins.
Florida has gotten its class of 2013 off to a great start with four commitments, but the first big junior day always sets the tone for the rest of the recruiting cycle. That day is Saturday.
Five-star safety and ESPNU 150 watch list prospect Nick Washington will be making the short trek from Jacksonville to Gainesville. Washington has seen the Florida campus several times, but he wants to use this opportunity to get his parents acquainted with what Florida has to offer.
