5-Star Prospect Dallas Wilson Requests Release from Oregon to Join Florida Gators
In a surprising turn of events, 5-star prospect Dallas Wilson has requested a release from his National Letter of Intent (NLI) with the Oregon Ducks to join the Florida Gators. Wilson, a highly touted wide receiver from Tampa, Florida, cited family considerations and a desire to play closer to home as key reasons for the decision.
Wilson, ranked among the top recruits in the 2024 class, initially committed to Oregon, drawn by its high-octane offense and tradition of developing NFL-caliber receivers. However, as signing day approaches, Wilson has decided to prioritize proximity to his support system in Florida.
“After careful thought and discussions with my family, I feel the best decision for my future is to stay closer to home and play for the Florida Gators,” Wilson shared in a statement. “I have tremendous respect for Coach Lanning and the Oregon program, but this is the right move for me at this time.”
The Florida Gators, led by head coach Billy Napier, are gaining momentum on the recruiting trail, and Wilson’s addition would be a game-changer for their offense. Known for his elite route-running, speed, and ability to make contested catches, Wilson could immediately impact the Gators’ receiving corps.
Oregon fans have expressed mixed reactions, with some lamenting the loss of such a talented player and others wishing him well in his future endeavors.
The Gators, meanwhile, are thrilled about the prospect of Wilson joining their ranks. “Dallas is a phenomenal player and an even better person. We’re excited about what he’ll bring to our program,” Coach Napier said.
As Wilson transitions, this move underscores the dynamic nature of college football recruiting and the importance of finding the best fit—both on and off the field.
