After locking down three-star defensive lineman Michai Boireau earlier in the day, the Florida Gators earned a commitment on the other side of the trenches from three-star offensive tackle [autotag]Marcus Mascoll[/autotag].
The South Gwinnett (Snellville, Georgia) lineman is the 15th addition to Florida’s 2024 recruiting class, which is the third-best in the country, according to On3’s team rankings.
On3’s Hayes Fawcett spoke with Mascoll to find out why he picked Florida over LSU and NC State. He just finished up a three-weekend stretch where he visited each program on an official visit — LSU first, Florida second and NC State over the weekend.
“Florida is a great university and Gainesville is a great city,” Mascoll said. “Coach (Billy) Napier, Coach (Rob) Sale and Coach (Darnell) Stapleton are all great dudes and they make me feel like a priority.”
Sale and Stapleton work in tandem to coach the offensive linemen on the team, which is something most recruits speak positively about. Mascoll says that he’ll work at both guard and tackle in Gainesville.
The On3 industry ranking places Mascoll at No. 612 overall and No. 40 among offensive tackles in the class of 2024. He’s a consensus three-star recruit that’s currently 6-foot-4.5-inches tall and 290 pounds and growing.
