The Florida Gators recently hosted five-star Central High (Phenix City, Alabama) wide receiver [autotag]Cam Coleman[/autotag] on an unofficial visit last week, according to On3, and it might not be too long before Billy Napier and Co. see him back on campus.
“On this visit, I saw the campus, I watched some film, I got to go see an alligator with coach Billy Gonzales, I spent time with coach Napier and this visit really changed how I feel about Florida,” Coleman said to On3’s Chad Simmons. “I know Florida is definitely getting an official visit.”
While no dates have been locked in for that official visit, Coleman is looking to get back to Gainesville quickly. He’s scheduled to be at Clemson over the first weekend of June and LSU at the end of the month, so Florida could fit somewhere in the middle.
Auburn and Florida State are likely to get him on campus during the fall, and Georgia is the other program pushing for an official visit. The On3 recruiting prediction machine currently gives Auburn the best odds to land him at 79.6% but things could change after his June visits.
Coleman is a five-star receiver, according to 247Sports, ESPN and On3. Rivals.com hasn’t quite caught up on this kid’s talent yet and has him listed as a three-star talent, but Coleman’s meteoric rise — he was unranked before jumping up to No. 20 overall in February — somewhat explains the delay.
On3 is the most bullish on Coleman, ranking him at No. 6 overall and No. 2 among receivers in the class of 2024. ESPN has him at Nos. 7 and 1, respectively, which leads to an industry ranking (weighted average) of No. 25 nationally and No. 6 among pass catchers.
