Florida football gained its sixth commitment in the Class of 2026 Sunday evening with Buchholz 4-star WR Justin Williams deciding to stay close to home.
Florida football’s sixth commit in the Class of 2026 won’t have to travel far to reach Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. In fact, it’s only about a four-mile trip from Buchholz to the Swamp.
Justin Williams, the Bobcats’ stud 4-star WR, committed to the Gators on Sunday evening, June 8. The rising senior completed his official visit to UF this weekend. According to 247 Sports, his visit was the third on his schedule along with Indiana and Kentucky.
On May 15, Williams unveiled his top five to On3. It included Florida, Kentucky, Indiana, Missouri and Florida State.

He is truly an athlete, getting time at both running back and wide receiver last season for the Bobcats – which advanced to the Class 6A state final four for the fourth year in a row. He was named the Gainesville Sun’s Big School Offensive Football Player of the Year for the 2024 season.
