Among the many names scheduled to make their official visits to the Swamp is 247Sports five-star linebacker [autotag]Jamonta Waller[/autotag] out of Picayune (Mississippi) Memorial in the 2024 cycle. The 6-foot-2-inch, 225-pound flex defender, however, recently made a change to his itinerary, moving his official visit with the Gators back from the first weekend of June to June 16, according to Gators Online’s Keith Niebuhr.
The blue-chip recruit has made one visit to Gainesville prior back on March 11 — his only visit — from which he came away with a positive impression of what Billy Napier and his staff are building.
“It was just a great visit,” he told Gators Online following the visit. “When I visited there a couple of weeks ago, I just felt like it was somewhere I could be. I’m just taking it step by step, so I’m starting with the official visit.”
The Ole Miss Rebels appear to be an early favorite for the young defender as he stopped in Oxford twice in the last month.
Waller is rated at four stars and ranked No. 101 overall and No. 8 at his position nationally according to the 247Sports composite while the On3 industry ranking also has him at four stars and ranked at Nos. 80 and 7, respectively. On3’s Recruiting Prediction Machine has the Rebels with a commanding lead in his recruitment, holding an 80.6% chance of landing him, while Florida (4.5%), the Penn State Nittany Lions (3.9%) and Alabama Crimson Tide (1.7%) tag along behind, respectively.
