Another day, another top schools list for Florida’s football recruiting efforts. This time, the Gators made the cut for four-star running back/athlete Derrick McFall out of Tyler (Texas) in the 2024 class, who has the Orange and Blue among his six preferred collegiate destinations, On3’s Chad Simmons reported.
The 5-foot-10-inch, 175-pound prospect announced his top six on Monday night, which also included the Alabama Crimson Tide, Louisville Cardinals, TCU Horned Frogs, Texas Longhorns and Texas A&M Aggies.
“I feel like this was the perfect time to narrow it down so I can find that home and get the bond tight with that school,” the high school junior told On3. “These six stand out more because they’re the main schools I hear contact from. They show love and kept it real with me each time we spoke.
“It’s very close between three or four because they’ve all shown so much love since the beginning of my recruitment. My official visits will be a game changer for figuring out where I belong and where I feel the most wanted.”
McFall is ranked No. 274 overall and No. 21 at running back nationally according to the 247Sports composite while the On3 industry ranking has him listed as an athlete at Nos. 246 and 11, respectively. Texas A&M is currently the overwhelming favorite for his commitment according to On3’s Recruiting Prediction Machine with a 93.9% chance of landing him.
