Wide receiver Joshua Hammond (Hallandale, Fla.) committed to Florida over offers from Stanford, Ohio State, Notre Dame and others.

"I've always wanted to be a Gator," Hammond said. "I grew up loving Florida. It just feels like home. They treat me like family. Their staff is really good."

His older brother Frankie Hammond, Jr. played for the Gators from 2008-12.

"That didn't play a factor at all in my decision," Hammond said. "I know Florida needs wide receivers a lot. The atmosphere at Florida is different. I've been a lot of college games and Florida is different."

Hammond will be visiting Florida Friday.

The three-star recruit is ranked as the nation's No. 56 wide receiver and the No. 47 prospect in Florida in the 2016 class by 247Sports.com Composite Rankings.
