let’s talk some Florida Gator recruiting as the gator High School class ended with a bang and now the UF staff is hitting the portal hard we’re two days into transfer portal season and the Gators already got some guys on campus I got Insider Cory Bender from Gators online in this video we’re going to break down what are the Gator’s most important targets heading into transfer portal season all right before we get to it though you guys do me a favor smash that subscribe button okay let’s bring on Cory Bender Gator on some intriguing names uh I definitely want to talk wide receivers because with DJ lagway kind of planting his flag he’s not going anywhere we know they’re trying to add some skill players but first already some big names on campus let’s start with kesan Sila the big defensive linman from Kentucky what are you hearing on him how big of a priority is he yeah so what’s funny with silver he was a major priority for Dan Mullen staff too so a lot of people that been covering Florida know his name very well he visited a lot in the past um and Florida too Caleb Banks one of their best defensive linemen you know he’s coming back that was a big thing instead of him going to the draft so H getting him back obviously kind of softens the blow a little bit but they’re still losing Desmond Watson and cam Jackson so Florida definitely needs more interior help and he’s really at the top of the board for them one of the only defensive lineman they’ve offered in the portal you know USC Miami and Michigan are the other schools involved so Florida’s getting the first OV so when I see that schedule it tells me that this kid probably isn’t going to make a decision right off that first visit um Florida’s going to have to kind of um push off those schools as the week progresses but he know he’s familiar with Florida from back in the past when I spoke with him a lot too he loves Gainesville um he’s really kind of see it’s really about just growing close to that staff and seeing how he’d fit in with them but obviously there’s opportunity for him and I think as far as getting on the field early Florida’s one of those schools that kind of probably gives him the best shot you know when you look at uh Miami on the list and USC you first thing you think it’s probably nil I know it’s going to be an nil battle with this kid but but I think overall Florida has to feel pretty good you know he’s on campus for two days and I think the biggest thing Josh we always talk about it you know who’s freshing your mind who gets the last visit that might be the thing here you know Florida’s the first out of four visits for him so Florida really has to make a good impression to kind of push off those schools as a week progresses but from everything we’ve heard Florida definitely has a really good shot with them and he obviously sees opportunity to play early and na won’t be an issue as far as in Gainesville either yeah seems like a good fit you know if it works out with these VIs the gator got to hold on make a really strong impression on this first trip um another intriguing name quarterback I know like we’re you know hey he’s expected in today though Justin Martin from UCLA I get it this is uf’s looking for a quality backup here we’re not we’re not talking about replacing DJ lagway right yeah no absolutely not man and I kind of said last week too it’s a kind of an interesting scenario where it’s kind of hard to recruit the position um you get TRL Jones obviously from the high school level but he’s going to be a true freshman and he missed all this year due to injuries so you obviously can’t expect too much from him right away and with Florida I kind of said last week they need some kid that had sample size that’s shown them hey this kid can play at the next level but also young enough where it’s intriguing to them that you know he has years of Eligibility and he’ll be able to sit behind DJ lagway and Justin Martin’s one of those Florida hasn’t offered yet but you know signs kind of point to him probably getting an offer on the visit he’s here from Wednesday through Friday so that’s obviously a good sign for him I don’t think they would if they’re not going to offer him I’d be I’d be surprised they would even bring him in for this long of a visit U but another name last night Desa pie from Charlotte um that he they actually did offer him so right now there’s two quarterbacks really kind of firmly in the board pie who they already offered and then Justin Martin who was in town um as far as Deshawn pie same type of situation he played his freshman year um not it’s like he had like a little over a thousand yards um 10 touchdowns six interceptions nothing too crazy but it’s enough um to kind of show Florida hey you can play at this level um and like you said he’s only a freshman too so he also has a red shirt available so I think those are two names right now at the top of the board I spoke to someone late last night um Obie isn’t set with pry as of yet um but that’s a work in progress and Florida they’re in the gas Barilla bowl next week and we we put this on the site but um Florida doesn’t plan to host any transfers all throughout next week and not until next weekend so they’re trying to get as many guys in this week because most of them are going to be at Bull prep so we’ll see if py can kind of squeeze in a visit at the end of this week I think right now he might be the most likely scenario just considering he has a scholarship off okay so going in chronological order we got kesan Silver’s been on campus already for two days Justin Martin will be on campus today and then on Friday another big visit yeah he’s from Jacksonville State but safety Zachariah poer is get drawing interest from some big dogs and it’s easy to see why he’s one of the best safety prospects in the portal right now uh he’s coming in Friday what’s the Gator’s angle here with poiser yeah so it’s kind of so Vernell Brown his dad he actually represents him with the nil as an agent he also is a former teammate of Vernell Brown theii over at Wildwood so gainesville’s an hour away from where he grew up obviously you have the Brown family that familiarity so going into the visit you have to feel pretty good obviously he gives them an opportunity to play BigTime football close to home um Auburn and LSU are both getting visits as well so it’s not going to be some just easy kind of he gets in the class obviously he’s going to take visits to all three School this week but when you kind of look at the outside looking in Florida has some good safeties on the roster but they’re all you know Jordan Castell is a good player but you know he’s entering his junior year you obviously have Hilton stubs coming in um and some other younger guys who are studs but obviously they’re going to be true freshman so with poer it gives him a guy with experience who can kind of Mentor that younger group but also play on the field right away it kind of reminds me when they signed tresi Bridges um last year from Oregon it was the same type of thing he came in and had a big impact and was ahead of those younger guys on the roster but when you look at the you know him being an hour away from Gainesville and then him his connection to Vernell Brown’s family you have to feel pretty good you know before going into this visit all right let’s get to the wide receiver position because I think this is the position where the Gators can swing the biggest stick because they have the look there’s so many teams out there in the portal right now looking for a quarterback and the Gators have one so now they’re looking for wide receivers what’s the buzz at the position right now Cory yeah so Reggie Virgil he’s a guy in Miami Ohio really coveted Florida state Florida Miami he already has almost 20 offers since going in the portal but he’s from Mount Dora so he grew up not too far from Gainesville as well 6 foot4 a big threat almost had a thousand yards this patch year at Miami Ohio so he’s one guy um Florida’s really trying to push hard again on campus I spoke to him again last night he said I’m trying to quote I’m trying to get to campus but it it started Florida was one of the first major offers since then all these offers have flooded in so I think it’s a tough decision to fit in these visits and like I said before he wanted to visit next week during the week but Florida’s going to be at Bull prep so they’re trying to get that setup where he can come in before the end of this week we’ll see if that happens but another one is Chase Chase Sal from East Carolina um his mom is actually an athlete at Florida um you know she attended there so that’s a big that’s an offer in the family that they’re all really excited about another guy obviously had big time production um at ECU a big Target and that’s the thing with Florida they have a lot of these smaller kind of in space guys Eugene Wilson Vernell brown but they’re looking for that big body Target with Elijah Badger heading out chamir Dyk obviously is another one a jir DK so obviously they need a few of these bigger big body wide receivers to come to campus and those are two guys that Florida has a really good shot with um with with Chase s he has actually has an OV schedule for later this week um and you actually see on Twitter his dad um quote tweeted when he got the offer and you can see the excitement in the family um you know the kid hasn’t named a leader or anything like that but you can tell the family’s really excited for him to maybe possibly foll the footsteps of his mother um and two other guys worth mentioning is Oklahoma’s Nick Anderson um he’s another guy missed all this year due to injury but the year prior to that um he had about 800 yards receiving another big body coming in from Oklahoma um we haven’t received word yet if OV is scheduled just yet but Florida’s on that short list and another one obviously is Alabama’s Caleb Odum um you know I think Colorado you got to look at them as the early leader right now he’s going uh out to B this weekend for an OV but Florida was pushing hard for him out of high school um and they’re going to be swinging the fences for him too obviously he’s 6 fo5 Elite former five star guys so like you said Josh um they’re swinging def fenses for a lot of bigname guys in the portal so I think when you look at qu like familiar names that Florida could possibly get I think it’s at that wide receiver position well it is heating up in the portal for the Florida Gator so Gator fans talk to Cory and I how are you feeling about these options who’s your top Target right now in the transfer portal let us know comment section below
