Brantley, the No. 5 defensive tackle in the country, said he decommitted for personal reasons.
"To me I was solid up until this week, when I had some personal problems so then I decommitted," Brantley said. "There are a bunch of personal reasons and some stuff I need to clear up with Florida, but I'm probably going to take visits to LSU, Alabama and Oklahoma."
"Bama hit me up last night, Oklahoma called me today," he said. "I talked to LSU, like, 20 minutes after I decommitted. I've never been to another school other than Florida and Florida State, so it's going to be different. I don't know nothing about all these schools, man. I'm going to check them out, but like I said I've never been anywhere but Florida and Florida State."
"Florida is definitely still in it for me," he said. "They have been calling me and everything like that, but I haven't picked up the phone for nobody. All the other coaches have been calling me through other players' phones. I haven't really been on my phone."
When asked whether he has talked to other Florida commitments about his decision, Brantley's answer was short and simple.
"Not really," he said. "Sometimes you've got to be selfish."
