Offensive tackle [autotag]Owen Strebig[/autotag] traveled all the way from Waukesha, Wisconsin, to be at Florida’s Grill in the Ville cookout on Saturday. The trek was worth it, though, as Strebig left town with an offer in hand, according to Gators Online.
Strebig is a top-100 recruit from the class of 2025 and possesses the kind of frame that Florida looks for in a prospective offensive tackle. He’s 6-foot-7 inches tall and 295 pounds entering his junior year.
Although distance will present some challenges, Strebig said that he’s in Florida several times a year. In fact, this was his second trip to the Swamp already. He was in town back in March during spring practice.
The plan is to visit for a game this fall, but he’ll also be by Notre Dame and USC.
Strebig is a consensus four-star recruit, ranked highest by On3 at No. 40 overall in the class of 2025. The On3 industry ranking, which uses a weighted average from all four major recruiting services, places him at No. 73 nationally and No. 9 among offensive tackles. He’s also the top-ranked player out of Wisconsin.
