Three-star tight end [autotag]Reid Mikeska[/autotag] backed off his commitment to Clemson on Thursday night and wasted little time setting up an official visit to Florida. Swamp247 reported that he’ll take one to the Swamp from June 17 through the 19. Mikeska also said that he’ll unofficially visit Oklahoma before his trip to Florida and Miami after his official.
Head coach [autotag]Billy Napier[/autotag] and tight ends coach [autotag]William Peagler[/autotag] are aiming to sign one tight end this cycle after all the injuries the program suffered at the position this spring.
Peagler didn’t stop recruiting Mikeska while he was committed to the Tigers. He went out to Texas to see him during the spring evaluation period last week and plans to stop by next week. He said Florida’s decision to still recruit him while he gave his pledge to another school meant a lot to him.
Mikeska hails from Cypress, Texas, and is ranked as the 484th best player overall and the 26th best at his position, according to the 247Sports composite.
