It’s never too early to look for the quarterback of the future in college football, and Florida head coach Billy Napier has his eyes on 2023 four-star Christopher Vizzina.
Napier and his staff stopped by Vizzina’s high school in Birmingham, Alabama to speak with his coaches, and the top-100 quarterback is now planning a March visit to the Swamp. His last trip was in September to see Florida face Alabama, but that was when Dan Mullen still had control of the team.
“I was there for the Alabama game and it was a great game between, at that time, two top-ranked teams,” Vizzina said to On3. “It was loud, very loud, there, and that stood out. That noise was different at Florida.”
While the fanbase seems to have impressed Vizzina, Napier and his staff still have plenty of work to do to land the blue-chip signal-caller. Clemson, Kentucky, LSU, Miami, Notre Dame, Ole Miss and Tennessee are all in the hunt for him, and several have already got him on campus.
Florida lost the commitment of 2022 four-star quarterback Nick Evers following the coaching changes, but Napier was still able to bring in three-star recruit Max Brown and Ohio State transfer Jack Miller to keep the depth chart full.
With a full year to recruit the class of 2023, Napier is expected to bring a top-10 class to Gainesville. Adding the No. 8 quarterback and the No. 84 overall prospect on the 247Sports Composite would be a nice step toward reaching that goal.
