After three visits to the University of Florida, Madison Central (Mississippi) tight end [autotag]Micah Jones[/autotag] is more than familiar with the Gators’ campus, but an official visit will ensure that no stone is left unturned with him.
Jones will be in Gainesville for the weekend starting Friday, according to Swamp247.
“I’ve really seen everything I need to see there,” Jones said. “For me, I just want to get that feeling. The feeling, you know, like the reassurance of this being a place I want to go.”
Right now, Florida is the only official visit on Jones’ summer itinerary. However, a trio of SEC programs are looking to get him on campus on back-to-back-to-back weekends, which could complicate the recruiting race. Arkansas, Auburn and LSU are the other three schools he’s looking at.
