2023 safety from Lake Wales, Florida Jaremiah Anglin picks up Oklahoma offer

The Oklahoma Sooners look to add to their defensive backfield with an offer to 3-star safety Jaremiah Anglin out of Florida.

Despite their recent recruiting success in July, Oklahoma is focused on adding more to their 2023 class. They’ve likely finished up adding to their offensive line, and they’ve already gotten their quarterback, but one area that could see some more bodies is the safety spot.

With that in mind, it makes sense why they felt the need to offer 2023 three-star safety Jaremiah Anglin out of Lake Wales, Florida. Anglin stands 6-foot-1, plays on the offensive side of the ball, and also is a basketball player, so he is quite the athlete in his own regard. Anglin also has a notable connection to one of the NFL’s most talented defenders, as Anglin is the cousin of former Florida State Seminoles safety turned Los Angeles Charger Derwin James.

His tape shows an athlete that looks extremely comfortable playing as the deep safety and coming up to make plays in run support. His athleticism allows Anglin to showcase a great feel for angles and route recognition. He displays excellent ball skills which makes sense considering he has experience playing on both sides of the ball.

Brandon Hall has been active recruiting safeties since the moment he’s gotten here. While he’s landed Erik McCarty, it’s pretty obvious from the sheer volume of offers that the Sooners are far from satisfied. Anglin looks like a player the Sooners would love to keep monitoring and see if they can put themselves in a good spot in his recruitment as the fall comes around.

This 2023 in-state safety has set a date for his Florida visit

The Gators are making steady progress with three-star in-state safety Jaremiah Anglin. He’s now set a date for his visit to the Swamp.

In-state safety Jaremiah Anglin will be in Gainesville on April 2 for an unofficial visit to the University of Florida, according to 247Sports.

Florida got the ball rolling with the three-star defensive back out of Lake Wales High in February by extending an offer. Anglin, who described UF as his childhood dream school, started working on travel plans immediately. His developing relationship with defensive coordinator Patrick Toney is another good sign for the Gators.

Toney offered Anglin and is the coach he talks to the most along with wide receivers coach Keary Colbert. This spring visit will allow him to meet the entire staff and bond with them.

“Coach Toney said the biggest thing he likes about me is how I am a ballhawk, and how I am not scared to be physical and come down in the run game,” Angling said.” “He said I can be the type of player who can play all around the secondary. The nickel, corner, or the free safety position. From talking to Coach Toney, he wants to run multiple defensive backs. He said he wants DBs to be rolling around back there. He wants guys to make plays and get to the NFL.”

Anglin will be by Florida State on March 5 for the Seminoles’ first day of spring practice and Junior Day. FSU is considered the leader right now for Anglin because of the family connection with Derwin James and he outright said it back in January. The Gators do have Gervon Dexter, Anglin’s former high school teammate, though.

On3 has Anglin as a four-star recruit that is the No. 14 safety and No. 198 overall recruit in the class of 2023. He was unranked at the time of his offer and has since seen a bump in his stock. 247Sports considers Anglin to be the No. 32 safety in the country and the 63rd best player in the state.

Florida a top choice for this 2023 DB after receiving offer

Arch Manning isn’t the only Gators target with a famous relative. Meet Derwin James’ cousin, 2023 defensive back Jaremiah Anglin.

2023 defensive back Jaremiah Anglin is the latest recruit to receive an offer from the Florida Gators.

Defensive coordinator Patrick Toney and wide receivers coach Keary Colbert got in contact with Anglin on Thursday to deliver the news, according to Gators Online. The plan is for him to be on campus in March but no date is set just yet.

Anglin has some familiarity with the Gators coming out of the same high school as defensive tackle Gervon Dexter, Lake Wales High. He said that Dexter is like a mentor to him, but he still needs to meet the entire staff after the turnover.

“Man, this is a great offer being from Florida. It’s amazing,” Anglin said. “The Gators have always been a powerhouse. I’ve been to a couple of games and love the atmosphere in the Swamp.”

UF’s biggest competition appears to be Florida State after an unofficial visit put the Seminoles at No. 1 on Anglin’s board. Former FSU safety and current Los Angeles Charger Derwin James is also Anglin’s cousin.

Miami also got a chance to meet with him in January, and Cincinnati, Kentucky and South Carolina have all offered scholarships. While he doesn’t have a list of schools yet, Anglin does know that Florida is near the top of the group.

“Man, that’s Florida, you feel me? So, that’s always a top choice,” Anglin said. “But honestly, I don’t have a top 5-10 yet.”

Plenty of Power Five programs are expected to join the race in the coming months, but a March visit should put the Gators in a good spot to keep the in-state recruit at home.

Anglin is a three-star recruit and the No. 37 in the class of 2023, according to Rivals, but 247Sports and On3 have yet to rank him.
