Dunnellon high school linebacker Lerentee McCray will be staying close to home to play his college football.  McCray will be a Florida Gator.   He made his intentions known on ESPN-U from Orlando's ESPN Club. McCray chose the Gators over archrival Florida State and current National Champion LSU.

ESPN’s number 80 overall ranked player in the 2008 class, McCray is also the number six outside linebacker in the class. He is fast and hits furious, McCray is just what the Gators are looking for in a linebacker.  The 6-2, 210 pounder is the 20th verbal commitment for head coach Urban Meyer.  National signing day is Wednesday, February 6th.
