Spring Evaluation Period: Florida visiting many top targets Monday
With high school spring football beginning on Monday throughout the Sunshine state Florida will be hitting the trail hard.
The goal for the Gators staff is to visit as many schools in the state of Florida as they can.
On Friday a bus-load of Bradenton (Fla.) IMG Academy prospects visited Florida, on Monday defensive line coach Chris Rumph and offensive coordinator Doug Nussmeier will return the favor by stopping by the always-loaded football factory to check out a practice.
A few IMG prospects who have the Gators on their list are tight end Tre McKitty, offensive tackle Robert Hainsey, center Cesar Ruiz, 2018 wide receiver Brian Hightower, and 2018 offensive tackle Curtis Dunlap.
Running backs coach Tim Skipper will be in his main recruiting area of Jacksonville to make his rounds to several high schools. Skipper will meet up with defensive backs coach Torrian Gray in the afternoon so the two can see five-star Ohio State commit Shaun Wade at practice.
Before making the drive up to Jacksonville to see Wade, Gray will see Florida State commit Cyrus Fagan on Monday morning.
