Alex Klatsky, the 6-foot-4, 185-pound shooting guard from the Ranney (NJ) School and Team Rio, committed to Florida on Tuesday as a preferred walk-on following his official visit last weekend.
Klatsky will be following in the footsteps of his father, Brian, who attended Florida.
“It has been my lifetime dream to be a Florida Gator,” Alex said. “Coach Mike White and his staff have done a tremendous job there and they feel that I can help their program out over the course of my career. Florida is somewhere I can thrive both athletically and academically, which ultimately led me to my decision. I can’t wait to get onto campus next year and contribute everything I can.”
Klatsky is the second player from Ranney and Team Rio to commit this month, following shooting guard Bryan Antoine’s commitment to Villanova a week ago.
