Florida loses commitment from 4-star in-state 2027 recruit

Florida on Sunday saw one of its top recruits — in fact, its only pledge from the 2027 cycle — decommit from the program.
Tramond Collins, who carries an ATH designation, has reopened his recruitment. That’s according to Rivals’ Hayes Fawcett.
According to 247Sports, Collins’ primary recruiter was Florida wide receivers coach Billy Gonzales. Gonzales, though, reportedly will not be a part of new head coach Jon Sumrall‘s staff. So it’s not hard to connect the dots as it relates to the decommitment of Collins.
Collins, an in-state product from Cottondale, Fla., is a four-star recruit. He is rated as the No. 11 player in the state by 247Sports’ Composite and as the No. 128 recruit in the country regardless of position.
Collins was offered by Florida in April and committed a couple of months later. Billy Napier, of course, was fired seven games into the season, with Sumrall eventually being named his replacement.
Outside of Florida, Collins has a total of 13 offers, including one from Florida State. Collins took two unofficial visits to Tallahassee in November. Auburn, Louisville, Maryland, Miami, Tennessee, and Vanderbilt are among his other offers.
