"Florida has been my dream school since I was a kid. I love everything about the Swamp, from the coaching staff to the players and recruiters, and even just people that help in the Swamp. Everyone tends to love it there and I just can’t wait to be part of the family.

"The coaching staff, we have built a great relationship. They have almost took me in and they watch over and check up on me, which I like. To me, I just feel like that was home for me."

Wilcox shines as a target in the passing game, especially on jump balls in the red zone. His mission going forward will be adding additional muscle while retaining the agility that allows him to high point passes and use his body to make plays in short-yardage situations.

Wilcox’s future is at tight end, but he’s spent time on defense as well. There, he’s proven to be unafraid of contact. He certainly has the mentality to become a great blocker but he needs to add strength and become more technically sound in that area.

Wilcox could be an incredibly high-level player down the road, but he’d benefit from a redshirt year should he be allowed to to take one. -- Rob Cassidy
