Florida wide receiver signee Dre Massey took to Twitter and posted an incredibly heartfelt clip on Monday. The South Carolina native received his official acceptance letter to the university, and wanted to share the good news with his mother.
Massey -- a junior college prospect out of Holmes Community College in Mississippi -- is expected to inject a boost of speed and explosiveness to Florida's wide receiver corps.
