In the third of our three post Friday Night Lights Quoteboards, Inside the Gators Q&A sessions with three more Florida targets - 2019 offensive tackle Dontae Lucas, quarterback Carter Bradley and cornerback Rachad Wildgoose.
How has the visit gone so far?
“I've been talking to the coaches. Corey Bell, Randy Shannon and Coach Brad Davis. We've been talking about me coming here, experiences and stuff like that.”
What do you think about it up here?
“This is my second time here. When I step on campus, I like Florida, I love Florida.”
What are the Florida coaches talking to you about?
“They tell me I could be a good pass blocker, but they mostly talk about the education and stuff like that. They really don't talk about football. The education is what really lasts, you could get hurt at any time. Education comes first.”
Who else have you visited this summer and any more coming up?
“I went to Alabama, Georgia. I'm done.”

You had a good night out there, talk about your performance tonight.
“You know, honestly I wish I had a couple of throws back, but that's football. Coming out here and playing in the Swamp, it's unbelievable.”
What were the coaches telling you throughout the night?
“Just keep my head high. Keep slinging it, keep doing what I'm doing when I leave here in the weightroom, on the field.”
Have they indicated whether they might offer (asked Friday night before Matt Corral committed)
“It's the Justin Fields game. I respect them for that. It's the same with another couple of schools. They're taking their time, but I also have to respect my time too.”
What schools are coming after you the hardest?
“Georgia and here, Florida are probably the biggest two.” [There was a comment made that he was waiting for the Justin Fields dominoes to fall, which he agreed with]

What have you done since you arrived?
“I came in last night, Thursday night. Last night we really didn't do much, but this morning they took us to the lockerroom, took us on a tour around campus, let us put on jerseys. I like the campus. And the players' chemistry is really there since most of the players are from Florida. I like the coaches too.”
What is Florida secondary coach Corey Bell telling you?
“Pretty much that they don't have depth right now. People looking from the outside in think that they're stacked, but they're really not.”
What is your relationship like with the coaches and players?
“Coach [Randy] Shannon has known me for like two years, so I have a great relationship with him. Coach Bell too. I have a great relationship with some of the players – [Antonio] Callaway. All the guys from south Florida.”
Where do you stand in your commitment?
“I visit [programs] to have fun, but I also look at maybe – if something happens – maybe. But I like Georgia right now."
