Pridemore joins Hunter in Gainesville

Buford linebacker T.J. Pridemore will join teammate Omar Hunter at Florida after signing with the Gators this morning.

Pridemore initially chose Georgia Tech, but withdrew his commitment after the firing of coach Chan Gailey and committed to Florida on Jan. 12.

At 6-foot-2 and 236 pounds, Pridemore was an integral part of the defense that led Buford to the 2007 Class AA state championship. He finished with a 140 tackles, including seven for loss.

“It’s really special just to wake up and know that this day has come,” Pridemore said. “Me and Omar are very excited about being down there together. We’ve always been close and are very comfortable around each other.”
