"First I would like to give a shout out and say thank you to my mom [because] without her [none] of this would be possible. Second I want to thank coach Younger and the rest of the Rockledge football coaching staff for taking the time out of [their] life to coach me and the rest of my teammates," Lovett began when making his announcement.
"I want to thank all my brothers on the team for holding me accountable and keeping me in line. I also want to shout out my bother Zach Lovett for keeping me humble and pushing me to be the best I can be. The last people I want to shout out are my 2 brothers from another mother Andrew and Lucas Diaz and my best friend Aften, I love y'all!!
"With that being said I will be committing to the University of Florida."
When a player commits to a program, it is typical that fans, coaches, media, players and more will share their reactions via social media and Lovett's commitment was no different.
We have compiled some of the best player and staff reactions for your reading pleasure below.
