Gators make top 6 for this blue-chip Lone Star State offensive tackle

This prized offensive lineman has an official visit set with Florida, which is also among his top-6 schools.

Florida football made the top-six cut for offensive lineman Michael Uini out of Copperas Cove (Texas), who revealed his preferred programs to On3’s Hayes Fawcett on Thursday.

The 6-foot-8-inch, 315-pound trench warrior also included the Alabama Crimson Tide, Texas Longhorns, Georgia Bulldogs, Michigan Wolverines and Clemson Tigers among his top schools.

Uini has not yet stepped on Florida’s campus but does have an official visit date set for the second week of June. In the meantime, Billy Napier and Co. have been working hard to keep the rising high school senior in the fold.

“The coaches kept in touch with me and my family, checking up on us,” Uini told Fawcett. “Coach Sale and Coach Stapleton are the main ones doing that, but Coach Hamilton does it as well. That tells me they really want me.”

Uini is ranked No. 134 overall and No. 8 at his position nationally according to the 247Sports composite while the On3 industry ranking has him at Nos. 152 and 10, respectively. On3’s Recruiting Prediction Machine has Texas leading the pack for his commitment with a 24.4% chance of landing him, followed by Alabama (15.8%), Clemson (13.5%) and Michigan (11.3%).

Florida set to receive official visit from 4-star Texas OL

Florida is pursuing one of the offensive linemen in the class of 2024, and he’s set to take an official visit to the Swamp in June.

The Florida Gators have a date set for an official visit from Copperas Cove (Texas) four-star offensive tackle [autotag]Michael Uini[/autotag], according to Blake Alderman of 247Sports.

“I am going there on June 9th weekend for an official visit,” Uini said to Swamp247. “I want to spend more time with Coach Sale and keep building that deeper connection.”

Florida has been after Uini since the fall, but he’s one of the few targets the Gators have from out of state, making it a bit tougher to plan visits. The June trip will be his first time in Gainesville, but Florida offensive line coach Rob Sale and defensive analyst Joe Hamilton have been keeping in close contact with Uini to keep him thinking about the program.

Of course, hearing about something and seeing it in person makes a big difference. Florida is unique in that it has two offensive line coaches, but the benefits of that might not be evident until Uini sees both leading a meeting and coaching together.

June is going to be a big month for Uini. He’ll be at Clemson, Florida, Michigan and Georgia for official visits in that order, and he’s planning on going to Alabama for the Tennessee game. That fall trip hints at a later commitment timeline for Uini than most.

He plans on graduating early and enrolling at his new home in the spring, but anything could happen. Things could move up or back in the calendar at any point.

Uini is a four-star recruit ranked No. 120 overall on the 247Sports composite and No. 8 among offensive tackles in the class of 2024.

Every offensive lineman the Oklahoma Sooners have offered in the 2024 recruiting cycle

Which offensive linemen have the Oklahoma Sooners targeted thus far in the 2024 recruiting cycle?

The Oklahoma Sooners have created a reputation for developing NFL-caliber offensive linemen thanks to the work of offensive line coach [autotag]Bill Bedenbaugh[/autotag]. [autotag]

Creed Humphrey[/autotag] and [autotag]Orlando Brown[/autotag] are prime examples of the work that is done at OU. Humphrey is arguably the best center in the game just two years into his collegiate career.

Even prior to Bedenbaugh’s arrival in Norman, the Sooners developed two of the best offensive linemen in the NFL today, [autotag]Trent Williams[/autotag] and [autotag]Lane Johnson[/autotag]. The offensive tackles have starred in the league for much of the last decade and continue to do fantastic work at their tackle positions.

Oklahoma’s latest great offensive line talent is on his way to the NFL and has a chance to be a first-round pick in the 2023 NFL draft. Anton Harrison was a tremendous asset for the Oklahoma Sooners offense. He was as adept in run blocking as he was as a pass-blocker, and he takes great athleticism to Sundays.

Oklahoma’s 2023 signing class featured four-star [autotag]Cayden Green[/autotag], who was one of the best interior offensive line prospects in the country at the high school level. Oklahoma is hoping to hit home runs with late-rising offensive line signees [autotag]Joshua Bates[/autotag], [autotag]Heath Ozaeta[/autotag] and [autotag]Logan Howland[/autotag]. All four of their signees to the 2023 class are athletic and physical players who will be difference-makers on Saturdays.

With the 2023 class nearly wrapped up with national signing day just a few weeks away, the Oklahoma Sooners turn their attention to a talented 2024 offensive line class. Here’s who they’ve offered thus far in the [autotag]2024 recruiting cycle[/autotag], according to 247Sports.
