With National Signing Day just two days away, this weekend is a busy one for UF’s 2014 and 2015 recruiting classes.
Damian Prince, the No. 2 offensive tackle in the 2014 class, is taking his official visit to UF over the weekend. Prince is picking between Florida and Maryland.
His hometown of Forestville, Md., is just 20 minutes outside of College Park, but Florida could get the benefit of getting the last impression on Prince. He will sign his letter of intent on Wednesday.
Five-star athlete Adoree’ Jackson, who was expected to take a final official visit this weekend, is still deciding between Florida, USC, LSU and UCLA.
Jackson, a Gardena, Calif., native, is interested in pursuing a track career while at college. UF’s prestigious track and field program could swing him to Gainesville.
Jackson can play both cornerback and wide receiver. UF has good depth at corner led by sophomore Vernon Hargreaves III and early enrollee Jalen Tabor, which means he could get more reps on offense. Jackson is expected to make a decision on National Signing Day.
J.C. Jackson, a Florida commit who is suspected as wavering on his commitment, also arrived on campus Saturday afternoon. He took his official visit to Gainesville on Jan. 17.
The Immokalee native is the No. 21 corner in the 2014 class.
2014 three-star offensive tackle Derrick Kelly announced Saturday afternoon that he would be picking between Florida and LSU on Wednesday. UF’s current class has five offensive linemen, including JUCO transfer Drew Sarvary. Florida returns just five offensive linemen with starting experience in 2014.
The weekend is also big for UF’s 2015 class. Saturday is “junior day” and UF will host 12 targets from the 2015 class, including running back Jacques Patrick, athlete RayRay McCloud III, fullback Chandler Cox, outside linebacker Tevon Coney and linebacker Victor Alexander, according to ESPN.
No. 1 wide receiver George Campbell, outside linebacker Jeff Holland, sixth-ranked offensive tackle Martez Ivey, No. 3 cornerback Tarvarus McFadden, safety Deontai Williams, outside linebacker Adonis Thomas and No. 3 athlete Torrance Gibson will also be on campus.
