Top Georgia running back says he's coming to Florida

Mack Brown, considered one of the best running backs in Georgia, orally committed to the Gators Friday night.

Brown, of Lithonia, Ga., was among a large group of elite high school players who attended the Gators' Friday Night Lights camp.

At 5-foot-11 and 185 pounds, Brown is considered a four-star prospect by Rivals.com. He rushed for 1,712 yards and 21 touchdowns last season.

Apparently Florida put on quite a show for him. He had told the AJC before he left for Gainesville that he wouldn't make a decision while there, but the event changed his mind.
