It’s that time of the year again where the Friday Night Lights are bright and prospects all across the country are trying to shine on the field to impress college coaches and win a state championship ring before heading to college.

Andrew, how do you see this class shaping up? Besides the names weve been hearing, like ce-ce and byron, are there any other top tier recruits that could start looking more seriously at UF?…. if we continue progress with Treon at the helm and our D playing strong as usual.
Receiver Van Jefferson who is committed to Georgia and Clemson receiver commit Deon Cain are the two names that Florida is recruiting hard and trying to sell that Treon Harris is the answer to the offense.
