With Early Signing Period wrapping up on Friday, Dan Mullen’s staff will be getting ready for the next round of recruiting that will last until National Signing Day on February 6th.

At the moment, Florida cannot go anywhere for in-home visits or host recruits due to the dead period, which is in effect until January 10th. After that date, however, the program will welcome a multitude of targets on campus for official visits.

One player who will be taking an official to UF once the dead period concludes is Smith Vilbert. Vilbert, who straps up the pads for St. Joseph’s High School in Montvale (Nj.), talked to GatorsTerritory about what he is looking forward to while he’s in Gainesville.
