* Linebacker K.J. Britt arrived for media check-in wearing a Georgia Bulldogs shirt. The newly minted four-star named a top 10 list in the past that has Georgia and Auburn at the top. Since then Britt is straying away from naming leaders, but it’s apparent Auburn, Florida, and Georgia are heavily in the mix. He mentioned Jake Allen as one of the prospects in his ear the most. Gators head coach Jim McElwain is personally recruiting him for Florida.

* Five-star wide receiver Trevon Grimes showed up in town looking to build off of his strong performance in the Miami RCS. Grimes recently narrowed his list down to a top six, but admits Ohio State is still the team to beat. He plans to camp with the Buckeyes on June 16th when they Buckeyes hold a Satellite Camp at his high school, and also will visit Columbus this summer as well. Florida, Florida State, and Miami are other schools he mentioned possible visits to. There was buzz on Friday that Grimes ends his recruitment on that visit to Columbus.

* Clemson commit LeAnthony Williams visited Florida’s campus earlier this spring and has an interest in making a return visit. At this time there is not a date set for a trip to Gainesville, partially because Clemson is looking to keep him from visiting any other campuses. It seems the Gators are on his mind, but likely need to get him on campus a few more times to realistically attempt a flip.

* Rivals100 defensive back Devon Hunter is coming off a satellite camp workout on Thursday with the Florida staff. During that camp Hunter got a chance to work closely with defensive backs coach Torrian Gray, who Hunter knows from his time at Virginia Tech. The buzz on Friday was that Florida and Clemson have the early edge. He plans to visit Auburn and Clemson shortly after the Five-Star Challenge, and Florida again next month.
