After leaving high school, Vequain was a highly sought after prospect with dozens of college offers, and many from big schools like Alabama, Clemson, and Michigan. However, Vequain chose to commit to the University of Florida. This decision wasn't easy at all. One of the main reasons was to stay close to his family. Vequain grew up in St Petersburg, Florida. It made sense to stay local and still go to one of the most renowned football programs in America. This meant that he could always be close with his family and his old-time friends, and didn't have to say goodbye to his home. Another reason was that this was the most convenient option for Vequain. Choosing another college like Michigan, Clemson, or Alabama, meant Vequain would have to pack up everything and move all his stuff to a new home. Instead, Vequain decided it would be most convenient if he could just stay at home with his family and just walk to college. Moving homes would also have been very tough for Vequain as he has a very strong relationship with his family. Vequain adjusted very quickly to life in the halls and the field of Florida. Though he didn't play his freshman season, Vequain dominated as a deep threat for the Florida Gators in later seasons and quickly became a strong leader and the most reliable target through his college career.
