Kaylib Singleton is planning a Rutgers football official visit

Kaylib Singleton is planning an official visit to Rutgers football this summer.

Florida athlete Kaylib Singleton is planning to visit Rutgers this summer, just weeks after being offered by the Big Ten program.

Singleton will take an official visit to Rutgers football in the middle of June. He is one of the purest athletes in the class of 2025.

In addition to playing asa defensive back fo Fleming Park (Fleming Park, Florida), Singleton is also a sprinter and participates in the long jump. Rutgers offered Singleton in late February, joining an offer list that includes Power Five programs such as Florida, Iowa, Iowa State, Kentucky, Liberty Mississippi State, Pittsburgh, Texas A&M and UCF among others.

It had been reported this week that Singleton had only scheduled an official visit to Florida, but he said he currently has three visits planned out.

“I have an official visit at Rutgers on June 1416 and, I’m also in the middle of getting a date for my third official visit at South Florida,” Singleton told Rutgers Wire.

“I chose Rutgers as one of my official visits because, I feel like I have a great connection with coach Orphey (defensive backs coach Mark Orphey) and coach Schiano (head coach Greg Schiano) and I can possibly see myself playing at Rutgers. I want to get to know all the coaches and see how the culture is down there.”

According to Rivals, Singleton is the No. 38 athlete in the nation.

Florida earns crystal ball prediction for talented in-state cornerback

The Gators are a strong favorite to land this Sunshine State defensive back.

College football recruiting is heating back up along with the weather as the Florida Gators resume their push for the top prep prospects the nation has to offer.

On Tuesday, Billy Napier and Co. earned a crystal ball prediction from 247Sports for a promising in-state target. Three-star cornerback [autotag]Kaylib Singleton[/autotag] out of Orange Park (Florida) Fleming Island in the 2025 cycle has been in the program’s crosshairs and it appears that they are close to sealing the deal.

The 6-foot-1-inch, 173-pound defensive back has visited campus once this year on a junior day in January while also getting acclimated with newly-hired secondary coach Will Harris from afar.

The high school junior has the Orange and Blue as his only official visit, which is scheduled for the weekend of May 31-June 2. Singleton also is making an effort to visit during the spring as well.

He also runs track, a sport that he has continued to improve in this year. The Sunshine State product ran a personal best of 10.56 seconds in the 100-meter sprint (wind-aided) as well as a 10.72-second run this month.

Singleton is ranked No. 804 overall and No. 69 at cornerback position nationally according to the 247Sports composite while Rivals lists him as an athlete and ranks him No. 38 at that position nationally. On3’s Recruiting Prediction Machine gives the Gators a 98.5% chance of landing him.

Florida is set to host defensive back Kaylib Singleton on an official visit as the Gators continue to push for the in-state recruit.

The Gators will host Singleton on an official visit on the weekend of May 31, according to Swamp247’s Blake Alderman, and there is hope that he can get to Gainesville earlier for a spring visit.

Although listed as an athlete by On3, the expectation is for Singleton to play cornerback or safety at the next level.

Florida’s former defensive backs coach, Corey Raymond, initially targeted Singleton. His replacement, former Los Angeles Chargers assistant Will  Harris, has assured the in-state recruit that the new staff members involved with the Orange and Blue want him just as bad.

Harris and Singleton met briefly in January during one of the team’s junior days. It was his first time on campus at Florida, so Singleton still has plenty to take in.

Singleton has placed the Gators among his top three programs when questioned, citing strong communication from the staff as the positive that stands out the most.

The 247Sports composite puts Singleton at No. 800 overall in the 2025 recruiting class. He’s also No. 69 among cornerbacks and No. 120 in the state of Florida.
