Rivals250 defensive back Noah Boykin has finished up his visits and is done hosting coaches for in-home visits. The Washington (D.C.) H.D. Woodson standout, a former Maryland commit, breaks down finalists Florida, Notre Dame, and Virginia ahead of his National Signing Day decision in the video above.

NOTES:

Florida- Boykin and his family felt the personal attention from the new Florida staff. The coaches know Boykin could come fit in right away because they need cornerbacks. The connection Florida has to Boykin's area with former players like Jalen Tabor and Joe Haden is big because he knows players from similar backgrounds had success at Florida.

Notre Dame- Boykin really feels the love from coach Lyght and coach Joseph. They made up for coming into the process for Boykin late. Boykin really liked the atmosphere and the tradition at Notre Dame. He has not spoken to Notre Dame defensive back target DJ Brown about what they will be doing.

Virginia- Boykin appreciates how long the Virginia coaches have been recruiting him. He really liked the environment in Charlottesville and likes how they've recruited his position over the last few years.

-Boykin felt like he originally committed to Maryland because it was what he wanted but not what he really needed.

-Boykin will commit on Wednesday during a ceremony at his school that will star around 11:30am. Boykin already knows where he is going and might tell the school a day or two before Signing Day.

RIVALS' REACTION:

At this point it's hard to see Boykin ending up at any school other than Florida. The Gators knocked their official visit out of the park and the coaches have been all over Boykin since the dead period ended earlier this month. Notre Dame seems to be in better shape for DJ Brown.
