Florida Gators recruiting visitors list for Idaho game

The Florida Gators will host their final home game of the 2018 football season on Saturday against Idaho.

Dan Mullen and his coaching staff will have one final game to host prospects on campus for a game on Saturday as well.

While the opponent isn’t a huge one on Saturday, Mullen and his staff are scheduled to host one official visitor and several unofficial visitors.

GatorCountry.com brings you a Florida Gators recruiting visitors list for this weekend.

 

Official visitor

Florida will host one official visitor this weekend and it’s a big one as Mississippi State defensive end commit Nathan Pickering is scheduled to be in town. Pickering has a long relationship with Dan Mullen and is someone that the Gators continue to recruit despite his commitment. Heading into the visit Pickering is saying all the right thins about his status with the Bulldogs but Mullen will have his chance this weekend.

 

Unofficial visitors

As of writing this, no 2019 targets for Florida are expected in Gainesville this weekend but several 2020 and 2021 targets are expected in the Swamp.

Leading the way is big 2020 instate receiver Leonard Manuel who has been in Gainesville several times this year. Manuel likes both Florida and Miami but expect his recruitment to go deep into his senior year.

2020 defensive tackle Aidan Keanaaina is also scheduled to make his first trip to Gainesville this weekend. The Colorado native will make the long trip to see his first Florida game on Saturday. Keanaaina’s father played college ball with Florida receivers coach Billy Gonzales.

2020 South Carolina offensive line commit Issiah Walker Jr. is also expected in town this weekend. This will be the first game of the year for Walker to attend and the Gators are staying on Walker a lot as they try to flip the South Carolina commit.

Joining those guys is scheduled to be 2020 offensive lineman Zane Herring who has been a frequent visitor to Gainesville this year.

2021 offensive lineman George Jackson and 2021 quarterback Carlos Del Rio are also planning to be in the Swamp on Saturday. Both prospects have been on campus for one game this fall already.

 

Commits coming to town

Florida will once again have several commits on campus for the game this weekend against Idaho.

Linebacker commit Diwun Black has been to every home game but two is scheduled to be in town this weekend.

2021 defensive back Kamar Wilcoxson is scheduled to make his first trip back to Gainesville since he committed to Florida two weeks ago.
