With Spring football here, Dan Mullen and his staff are getting their first look at the 2021 Florida Gators football program on the field. But Mullen and his staff are also making strides on the recruiting trail.
One of Florida’s top recruiting targets in the 2022 class is five-star running back Gavin Sawchuk, a prospect out of Littleton, Colorado. Sawchuk is ranked as the No. 24 overall recruit, No. 1 running back and the No 1 player in the state of Colorado per 247Sports. He’s an elite prospect that could be a program-changing recruit.
While things have been a little silent on the recruiting front for Sawchuk, Blair Angulo of 247Sports to broke down the latest in his recruitment and top schools including Florida. Here is what Angulo had to say about the Gators:
Among all the SEC schools that have offered Sawchuk, it would seem that Florida has pushed the hardest in the battle. The family has been anticipating an end to the dead period for some time and Gainesville has always been a city on that eventual itinerary, so we would expect the Gators to draw a visit at some point in the process. Florida joined the chase with an offer back in May of last year and the contact has been consistent ever since.
Sawchuk has a total of 26 offers in his recruitment but hasn’t really trimmed his list down much. However, to see Florida being mentioned as a top contender for him is good news for Gators fans.
Still, there is work to be done in this recruitment.
