Tracking which recruits visit the Swamp for Florida’s Week 3 matchup with USF
The Florida Gators have hosted dozens of recruits over the first two weeks of the season, but UF’s Week 3 matchup with the USF Bulls features a smaller group of visitors.
Four-star UCF commit John Walker, who is visiting the Swamp for the third-straight weekend, headlines the group of expected visitors. Fellow four-star defensive lineman Jordan Hall could join him, but only time will tell if he shows up.
The rest of the group is made up of underclassmen. With 20 recruits verbally committed to Billy Napier’s class of 2023, Florida can start focusing on the next crop of talent more closely. With well over a year until that signing period rolls around, the Gators are targeting some elite talent.
Four commits are expected in town: interior offensive lineman Knijeah Harris, defensive back Ja'Keem Jackson, linebacker Jaden Robinson and defensive lineman Kamran James.
Gators Wire will continue to update this list as visitors confirm the arrivals throughout the day.
Update: Walker and Jackson are no longer expected to visit due to a lack of transportation.
