Dorsey, Knox commit to Florida; Valentine leaves

With National Signing Day now in the books for the 2013 recruiting cycle, the Florida Gators are in the process of hosting a number of 2014 prospects on campus this weekend for the program’s first Junior Day of the season.

Saturday afternoon, the Gators gained a pair of offensive line commitments from guard Travaris Dorsey (Jacksonville, FL) and tackle Benjamin Knox (Deland, FL) and simultaneously lost a pledge from four-star Rivals100 defensive tackle Travonte Valentine (Palm Bay, FL), who did not attend the event.

Dorsey, a long-time Florida lean, pulled the trigger just minutes before Valentine, who has long been considering decommitting from the Gators, announced his decision to reopen his recruitment via his Facebook account. Knox’s high school coach announced his pledge shortly thereafter.

“Decided to [decommit] from Florida need to take a step back and way out my options,” Valentine wrote.

Dorsey and Knox, whose commitments were first reported by InsidetheGators.com’s Blake Alderman, are not currently ranked by Rivals. Dorsey is listed as an ESPN 300 Watch List player while Knox does not have a profile on either recruiting service. Valentine is ranked as the 46th best player in the nation by Rivals.

OGGOA will update this story later. Stay tuned.

    Too many layers of flimsy to even count.
