Sitting at No. 88 in the Rivals100, Blades is Florida's second highest rated public commitment - coming in 10 spots behind Tampa (Fla.) Hillsborough defensive end Zachary Carter.

Though he claims his pledge to Florida is firm, Blades officially visited both Utah and Washington State during the season and unofficially visited Southern Cal for two home games.

If he is to take all four of the above mentioned visits, one will have to be an unofficial.

For his part, just this week Blades tweeted out a photo showing him decked out in Gators gear.
