Last week was a busy week of visits for the Florida Gators coaching staff as prospects were on campus every day last week.
Receiver Traylon Ray (6-2, 180, Tallahassee, FL. North Florida Christian) was on campus and enjoyed his time in Gainesville.
“It was good,” Ray said on how the visit to Florida went. “I saw most of the campus and how they work out and I talked a little football with the coaches.”
Receivers coach Keary Colbert spoke at length with Ray during the visit and offered the Tallahassee native while on campus.
“Coach KC [Keary Colbert] did,” Ray said on the coach from Florida who offered him. “He just said he liked my film and liked how I play and wanted to offer me.”
Ray has been picking up several offers as of late and he was happy to pick up an offer from the Gators during the offer.
“I was excited, it’s another SEC offer so that’s good,” he said on what the offer means to him. “It’s important that I’m getting into my SEC offers now.”
Colbert explained to Ray during the visit just why the Gators like his game and what he can do on the football field.
“He just told me they liked me,” Ray said on the message from Colbert. “He liked how I played and loved my film and we talked about route running. We didn’t get into much.”
Head coach Billy Napier also explained to Ray during the visit that the Gators are looking to load up at the receiver position this year.
“He just told me they needed 4-5 more receivers,” he said on the message from Napier. “He likes how I play.”
This was the first time for Ray to meet the coaching staff and he walked away impressed by Napier and his staff.
“They were great,” Ray said on his impressions from the staff. “All of them knew exactly what they were talking about, and they’re all invested in the team and how each player can get better every day.”
After the visit, Ray says he wants to learn more about the Gators but he was impressed by his visit last week.
“I’ve only been there once so I don’t really know yet,” he said on his interest in Florida. “The staff is very knowledgeable and teaches the game great.”
