For some time, it appeared that Chase (Forest City, NC) defensive tackle Carlos Watkins would become a member of the Gators' 2012 recruiting class. It was believed that he would join close friend Rhaheim Ledbetter and together the two would be able to bring Jonathan Bullard along with them. On Friday, one member of the trio would blow up those plans when Watkins selected Clemson over Florida. In the end, location was a big factor, as Watkins will play his college ball about 90 minutes from his home and family.
