Easton Royal, Florida's five-star wide receiver commit, scored two fourth-quarter touchdowns and did the Gator chomp after both as Brother Martin beat John Curtis 36-28 on Thursday night in the New Orleans area.

One of Royal's scores was a 17-yard catch from quarterback Justin Morgan. Brother Martin rallied with 27 straight points in the fourth quarter and forced seven takeaways.

Florida head coach Jon Sumrall was in attendance. It was Royal's first game since he flipped his commitment from Texas to Florida on Oct. 11.

The final and Royal's touchdowns were reported by LAvsAllYall. Garland Gillen (@garlandgillen) noted Sumrall's presence and both chomps, and Sam Spiegelman of RivalsHS (@samspiegs) shared postgame coverage.
