Brendan Beal wants to be a Gators.  Thursday night, on CSTV during a telecast of Tom Lemming's Next Generation, the nation's #51 prospect and #3 linebacker according to Rivals.com, made it official -- choosing Florida over Southern Cal, Boston College and LSU.

 The 6-foot-4, 235-pound, four-star prospect saying his "relationship with all the coaches and a chance to play early" were his reasons for pledging his allegiance to Gator Nation.
