Football Recruiting - Southeast Region: FSU
CROSS CITY, Fla. -- ESPN Watch List defensive back Duke Dawson (Cross City, Fla./Dixie County) has verbally committed to Florida. The 5-foot-11, 188-pound junior chose the Gators over in-state rival Florida State.
Dawson announced his decision at a ceremony held at his high school Tuesday afternoon.
The talented 2014 safety said his relationship with the Florida program is what ultimately persuaded him to choose the Gators.
"For one, I have felt the love there since day one and things haven't changed since," Dawson said. "I love talking to Coach T-Rob (Travaris Robinson), Coach [Will] Muschamp, Coach [Bryant] Young, Coach [Jeff] Dillman and the rest of them."
Dawson's comfort level with Florida started after receiving his first official scholarship offer at Florida's camp during the summer.
