Four-star offensive tackle Owen Strebig traveled all the way from Wisconsin to Gainesville for UF’s Grill in the Ville cookout, and he left town with an offer.

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.

Gators to get blue-chip 2025 Badger State OT at Grill in the Ville

Florida football is hosting some of the top recruits in the 2025 cycle this Saturday, including this massive offensive tackle.

Florida football’s first edition of its midsummer Grill in the Ville event is just a day away as the program prepares to host a plethora of prep prospects from a range of recruiting classes into the Swamp. Billy Napier and the Gators’ staff are putting in an extra effort to build a closer relationship with the up-and-coming recruits.

Four-star offensive tackle [autotag]Owen Strebig[/autotag] out of Waukesha (Wisconsin) Catholic Memorial in the 2025 recruiting class will make the trek across the country on Saturday, July 29, to pay a visit with the Orange and Blue. The massive 6-foot-8-inch, 295-pound lineman has been to campus twice prior, including a visit to campus back in June after which immediately set his sights on a return for the late-July cookout.

“I really liked the coaches; everyone was very welcoming,” he told Gators Online’s Corey Bender after his previous visit. “I really liked the new facility. The campus looked like a great place to be for a student-athlete.

“Coach Sale mentioned he was going to work me hard but love me harder as a player. That’s something that is important to me. Also, Coach Napier is a down-to-earth, personable coach. Coach Stapleton is a great coach with a lot of football knowledge.”

The high school junior also holds offers from the Michigan Wolverines, Notre Dame Fighting Irish, Florida State Seminoles, Wisconsin Badgers, Iowa Hawkeyes, Illinois Illini, Penn State Nittany Lions and Kentucky Wildcats, among others.

Strebig is ranked No. 82 overall and No. 10 at his position nationally according to the 247Sports composite while the On3 industry ranking has him at Nos. 73 and 9, respectively.

Wisconsin currently holds a crystal ball prediction from 247Sports and On3’s Recruiting Prediction Machine bears similar results, with the Badgers out front (22.4%) followed by Notre Dame (13.3%), Iowa (11.4%) and Illinois (5.0%).

“I really liked the coaches; everyone was very welcoming. I really liked the new facility. The campus looked like a great place to be for a student-athlete.

Badgers offer 6-foot-7 offensive lineman from Wisconsin

Wisconsin offered Owen Strebig, a class of 2025 offensive lineman from Waukesha, Wisconsin on Monday.

Wisconsin offered Owen Strebig, a class of 2025 offensive lineman from Waukesha, Wisconsin on Monday. The 6-foot-7, 285 pound athlete still has two more seasons of football at Catholic Memorial before he’d make the leap to the collegiate level.

As of right now, the offensive lineman has now received seven Division 1 offers, all of which are from within the Big Ten. Considering he’s from Wisconsin, Strebig will certainly take a strong look at the Badgers’ offer.

Wisconsin has yet to receive any commitments for the class of 2025, but that’s not a big surprise at all considering how far away we are from that season.
