A one-time Florida Gator and USC Trojan, Tristan Payton is now a Knight.

Payton, a four-star wide receiver, committed to UCF on Sunday, following a weekend official visit to Orlando. He announced his pledge on twitter around 9:30 a.m.

The 6-foot, 182-pound recruit out of Jacksonville's First Coast is ranked as the nation's No. 30 wide receiver, according to the 247Sports Composite.

"I'm blessed to say that I've committed to the University of Central Florida," Payton tweeted.

"They're getting the greatest receiver in the state," First Coast assistant Fred Culver told Knights247.

Payton is UCF's first four-star commit since Seffner (Fla.) Armwood defensive back Kyle Gibson last season, and the first four-star receiver to verbally pledge to UCF since Joshua Reese in 2010. If he signs, Payton would be pegged as the highest-rated receiver to ever land at UCF.

This is Payton's third verbal pledge of his recruitment. He committed to Florida in February, then decommitted in July. One month later, he pledged to USC, only to decommit on Friday.

Payton was named the MVP of the Semper-Fi All-American Game in Los Angeles earlier this month. Over the last two years, he's caught 97 balls for 1,700 yards and 15 touchdowns.

Wide receiver is the biggest area of need for UCF in 2015. They'll have to replace four starters in Breshad Perriman, J.J. Worton, Josh Reese and Rannell Hall.

Payton's commitment makes two wide receivers now in the Class of 2015 for UCF, joining Snellville's (Ga.) Cameron Stewart.
