5-star receiver Dallas Wilson flips to Florida Gators two weeks after signing with Dan Lanning's Oregon Ducks

The 2024 high school football season showcased talent from across the nation, particularly athletes bound for major college programs. December's early signing period brought its share of drama, with flips and de-commitments affecting some teams.

Class of 2025 five-star receiver Dallas Wilson from Tampa Bay Tech High School in Florida signed his letter of intent with the Florida Gators on Sunday. But that came with its own amount of surprises in the recruitment process.

Initially, Wilson had signed with Dan Lanning's Oregon Ducks on Dec. 4 in the early signing period. However, two weeks later, he requested to withdraw from his financial aid agreement and de-committed from the Ducks on Thursday.

The Gators continuously recruited Wilson as he took a third official visit to Florida on Friday.

Wilson previously committed to the Ducks on Jan. 17, 2023. Although he was committed, a plethora of schools were still recruiting Wilson. Dallas took an official visit to Oregon and Florida in June and followed that up with another official visit to Florida in November.
