It has been a long and grueling journey on Florida football’s recruiting trail over the past six months, which has featured some meteoric highs as well as some Dead Sea lows heading into the early signing period. On the opening day, the Gators once again experienced the ebb and flow of that roller coaster experience.
The 6-foot-1-inch, 180-pound defender gave his word to the Orange and Blue back in April but after yet another losing season in Gainesville, Filsaime chose what he believes will be a better situation for him.
“Knowing my future would be stable and the opportunities outside of football,” he said, according to On3. “Probably one of my hardest decisions ever because I have lots of love for everyone over (at Florida).”
It seems that Florida had an inside edge, but a weak showing on the field this season and the resulting personnel moves apparently had a negative effect on his view of UF.
“I’m really big on culture and how people are to me. That’s really one of the reasons I committed to UF,” Williams admitted. “But seeing all the changes that they’ve had and everything like that, it’s really a downfall for me. So knowing that Auburn has really good people and knowing they have a sustainable staff when it comes to the next three to five years is really good for me.”
