Inniss has high interest in the Florida Gators following his visit to UF

The Florida Gators hosted two big 2023 receivers on campus on Wednesday as the coaching staff looks to gain momentum with two of South Florida’s best players for next year.

2023 receiver Brandon Inniss (6-1, 188, Fort Lauderdale, FL. American Heritage) was on campus and enjoyed getting to see everything Florida has to offer.

“It was good, it went pretty good,” Inniss said of his visit to Florida. “I feel like I got to see everything, academic things, sport facilities, the new building they’re  building by the indoor, the basketball court, went into Ben Hill Griffin stadium. We seen everything.”

This was the first time for Inniss to meet the coaching staff and the receiver was impressed by the energy they showed during the visit.

“The word I would use for them is energetic, they’re very hyped up,” he said on his first impressions of the coaching staff. “They were hyped up about seeing us and talking to us on campus.”

Receivers’ coach Billy Gonzales explained to Inniss on Wednesday that he’s guy that can help the offense in a lot of different ways.

“He will use me all over the field,” Inniss said on the message from Billy Gonzales. “He said I will play X to Y to Z, really all over. Slot and outside receiver.”

Head coach Dan Mullen talked with Inniss and his group about wanting to keep the best players in the Sunshine state in state and how the Gators want him.

“We had a sit down with him, he definitely wants to keep us in state,” he said on the message from Dan Mullen. “I’m looking forward to talking to him more in the future, but we just had a nice talk.”

Following the visit to Gainesville, Innis says his interest in Florida is high for a few reasons in particular.

“My interest is very high in them,” Inniss said of his interest in Florida. “Florida is a very power school with throwing the ball, they excel in putting guys into the league.”

 

INSIDERS TAKE: Inniss said he may get back to Florida this summer but he isn’t sure since the dead period starts back up at the end of the month.
