5-star WR Easton Royal’s silence on Texas official visit speaks volumes as Florida continues pursuit

Easton Royal is on his official visit to Texas and things have been pretty quiet since he got there.

His activity on social media since arriving in Austin has been far more tempered than it was during his first few hours in Gainesville last weekend when he was visiting the Florida Gators. Royal is committed to the Longhorns, which is why they got the final official visit before the summer dead period begins, but he’s also made it clear that Florida and LSU are in the middle of this recruiting battle. He has taken official visits to all three schools.

Six hours into Royal’s visit to Florida, he was blowing up his social media with pictures of him in a Gators uniform, pictures of him hanging out at the facility and real-time videos of him holding the Heisman Trophy. Even his Instagram was full of reports about his trip to Gainesville and what his thoughts are on the Gators. But the only thing he’s shared from his trip to Texas is a picture of a trophy room in the facility.
