The Gators picked up their fourth commitment to the 2015 class Monday afternoon. Tristan Payton, a wide receiver out of First Coast High in Jacksonville, took a visit to UF over the weekend for junior day.
With Lake Nona High’s Deondre Farrier committing to Florida on Friday, Payton becomes the second wideout in the Gators’ 2015 class.
The 6-foot-1, 180 pound receiver had 50 catches for 857 yards and seven touchdowns as a junior last season. Payton also is a threat running the ball. He racked up more than 200 yards and three rushing touchdowns during his junior campaign.
Payton’s addition will continue to rebuild the wide receiver position at Florida, which lacks significant playmakers. The Gators signed three wide receivers and two tight ends to the 2014 class. Florida finished 2013 ranked 116th in pass yards per completion.
