Just last week Birmingham (Ala.) Jackson-Olin four-star defensive lineman Coynis Miller named a top two of Auburn and Florida.
On Tuesday he further separated the two by telling Al.com that the Gators are in-front.
"I loved it when I went up there," Miller said. "The coaches showed a lot of love, showing me around and showing me how they do things. Real good (relationship with Rumph). I talk to him just about every day. He just hit me up a couple of hours ago (last Thursday), telling me to have a good day and a good practice."
