Receiver board breakdown

The spring evaluation period rolls on as the Florida coaching staff is out seeing a ton of prospects around the country.

Over the next two weeks, GatorCountry.com is going to break down each position and talk about the prospects that the Gators have offered or are close to offering.

We will not talk about the quarterback position since the Gators already have their man in Will Grier.

First up was the running back position where Florida is looking to take two running backs and possibly a fullback.

Now we will look at the receiver position. The Gators already have one commitment for 2014 but are looking for two to three more.

Bamberg (S.C.) Bamberg-Ehrhardt receiver Aggadoria Bowers

Florida has offered but they have little to no interest in the 6-foot-3, 180-pound Bowers. South Carolina is the likely destination for Bowers.

Homestead (Fla.) South Dade receiver Tyre Brady

The 6-foot-3, 180-pound Brady is a prospect with academic issues which have caused Florida to take a step back on his recruitment. If he improves in the classroom, Florida could make a run for him.

Fort Myers (Fla.) Dunbar receiver Ryeshene Bronson

Bronson has been a Florida commitment for almost a year now and while the 6-foot-3, 182-pound Bronson says he wants to take visits, he is still solid to Florida. Bronson’s mother likes Florida a lot.

Houston (Tx.) Alief Taylor receiver Kennen Brown

Florida just recently offered the 6-foot-3, 185-pound Brown and he says he will visit Florida this summer. Joker Phillips is high on Brown and if he visits this summer, things could get interesting.

Palm Beach Gardens (Fla.) Dwyer receiver Johnnie Dixon

The 6-foot, 175-pound Dixon was high on Florida before Jacoby Brissett transferred away from Florida. Ever since the transfer, Dixon hasn’t been as high on Florida but the Gators are trying to get back in the picture. Look for Dixon to visit Florida this summer.

Delray Beach (Fla.) Atlantic receiver Adly Enoicy

Florida has offered. but the Gators haven’t expressed much interest in the 6-foot-5, 200-pounder lately.

Jacksonville (Fla.) Trinity Christian receiver Isaiah Ford

The 6-foot-2, 165-pound Ford just recently committed to Louisville where he plans to play both basketball and football.

Texas City (Tx.) High receiver Armanti Foreman

Foreman admits to growing up a Gator fan but Texas A&M looks to be the leader for the 6-foot, 174-pounder. Florida is trying to get Foreman on campus this summer but the chances are not high.

Grand Rapids (Mi.) High receiver Drake Harris

The 6-foot-4, 185-pound Harris is a Michigan commit and a solid one.

Lakeland (Fla.) Kathleen receiver Javon Harrison

Harrison is a Virginia Tech commitment but a prospect that Florida likes a lot. The 6-foot-2, 192-pound Harrison is a guy that is tough for the staff to contact, but the Gators are hopeful that he will visit this summer.

Fort Lauderdale (Fla.) St. Thomas Aquinas receiver Corey Holmes

The 6-foot-1, 172-pound Holmes is a prospect on the rise on the coaches board. As we reported last week, the Gators admit to dropping the ball on his recruitment and trying their best to get back in the mix and get Holmes on campus. Notre Dame is the school to beat for Holmes but the Gators have a decent chance here.

Tyrone (Ga.) Sandy Creek receiver Demarre Kitt

Kitt is a solid player but one that the coaches aren’t high on right now. The 6-foot-1, 180-pound Kitt is most likely headed to Tennessee or Clemson.

Homestead (Fla.) High receiver Ermon Lane

The 6-foot-2, 172-pound Lane is one of, if not the best receiver in the country and the Gators are recruiting him hard. Lane likes Alabama, Florida and Miami right now and this one will not be over for a while. Florida is in decent shape but needs Lane to visit this summer.

Gallatin (Tn.) Station Camp receiver Josh Malone

Malone is a guy that Florida is high on and at 6-foot-5, 187-pounds, someone the coaches want. Florida is trying to get Malone on campus but that looks to be shaky at the moment. Notre Dame, Ohio State, Florida State and Tennessee are schools that he is highest on right now.

New Orleans (La.) Edna Karr receiver Speedy Noil

The 5-foot-10, 185-pound Noil lives up to his name of Speedy. Noil has Florida in his top 5 but has yet to visit Gainesville. LSU and Texas A&M are the two schools that will give Florida the most competition.

Carmel (In.) High receiver Austin Roberts

Roberts visited Florida this spring. Unfortunately, the Gators look to be on the outside looking in for the 6-foot-2, 185-pound Roberts right now.

West Palm Beach (Fla.) Cardinal Gibbons receiver Travis Rudolph

The 6-foot, 170-pound Rudolph has had Florida as his leader since decommitting from Miami earlier this spring. Rudolph is a guy that is high on Florida’s board and the Gators chances are good here.

Tarpon Springs (Fla.) East Lake receiver Artavis Scott

The 5-foot-11, 180-pound Scott is a prospect that Florida is trying to get on campus more but Scott likes Ohio State and Michigan a lot. If Florida can get him back on campus again, things could change in Florida’s favor.
