2021 in-state OT details offer from Florida: 'They got a good program.'
OFFER: Receive FREE PREMIUM access until Aug. 10 when using promo code "UF2020"
Florida Gators offensive line coach John Hevesy has been a busy man on the recruiting trail over the past week.
Dating back to last Thursday, three Florida-based o-linemen reeled in offers from Hevesy: Adrein Strickland, Jake Slaughter and, most recently, Caleb Johnson.
Johnson, who is teammates with Slaughter at Trinity Catholic High School in Ocala, previously told us last month that UF had started picking up contact with him. The 6-foot-7, 290-pounder is tabbed by Rivals as the No. 42 offensive tackle in the nation.
With an offer from Florida now in his possession, Johnson spoke with GatorsTerritory about his reaction to Tuesday's good news, what he likes about the school and the other programs in the mix for his services.
Q: This is an offer you have been waiting on. Take me through it and your reaction to Florida giving you the green light.
Johnson: "I thought it was awesome. The evaluation for coach Hevesy was long, and he was looking at me and Jake for a long time. I guess he saw a progression and saw the work we were putting in. So, I guess it was time, he thought."
