Florida football made the cut for three-star defensive lineman [autotag]Michai Boireau[/autotag] out of Hampton (Georgia) Creekside, who announced his list of top eight schools on his personal Twitter account Wednesday.

Also included on the list are the Auburn Tigers, Georgia Bulldogs, Michigan Wolverines, Ole Miss Rebels, Tennessee Volunteers, Texas Longhorns and Texas A&M Aggies.

The 6-foot-5-inch, 350-pound defender fills a position of need for Billy Napier’s program on the interior defensive line, and despite his lower ranking, could be a diamond in the rough for the Orange and Blue.

Boireau is ranked No. 1,011 overall and No. 96 at his position nationally according to the On3 industry ranking while 247Sports does not have any data for him. On3’s Recruiting Prediction Machine has Michigan in the lead with a 39.0% chance of signing him, followed by the South Carolina Gamecocks (23.1%), Georgia (10.4%) and Ole Miss (8.6%) in his recruitment.
