Adonis Thomas signs with Alabama over Florida on National Signing Day 2015

Florida thought it had a chance at flipping Alabama commitment Adonis Thomas — who decommitted from the Gators in the fall of 2014, before committing to the Crimson Tide — back to the orange and blue on National Signing Day. That wasn't to be.

I would like to thank every coach who recruited me and gave me the opportunity to attend there school

Thomas had been considering Florida along with Alabama down until the final days, even sending a Snapchat Wednesday morning of himself with National Letters of Intent from both schools, but the Gators weren't able to bring him to campus for a final visit last weekend, and, well, it's hard to beat Alabama on the recruiting trail without having a baked-in advantage.
