target=_blank>Headlines
The
Skinny: Florida extended an offer to this sleeper defender last week after visiting him at his school. Florida is easily his best offer at this time and the Gators are looking for a commitment while on campus or sometime shortly after leaving on Sunday.

target=_blank>Headlines
The
Skinny: There was a bit of confusion as to whether or not Boulware committed to Maryland this past weekend while on campus for a visit, but he continues to say he isn't committed to anyone. The Terps are absolutely the team to beat here, but perhaps Florida can sway him on the final weekend before signing day.

The
Skinny: This California commit has recently seen his stock soar, picking up offers from the likes of Florida, Georgia, Penn State and South Carolina. Florida has visited him a couple of times in the last two weeks and is looking to flip him this weekend.

target=_blank>Headlines
The
Skinny: Growing up Callaway was a big fan of the Florida Gators, which is helping UF's cause somewhat in his recruitment. He has interest in playing at the next level with former Booker T. Washington teammate Treon Harris as well - which is another advantage for Florida. Though the Gators are firmly in the mix here, Miami is the biggest player for his signature. How much will Florida's lack of a wide outs coach hinder them with this four-star?

target=_blank>Headlines
The
Skinny: This three-star cornerback recently was taken off the Alabama commitment list after shopping around to other schools and lack of communication with the Crimson Tide staff. Kentucky may be the biggest player here for Custis, but UF is hoping to make a splash this weekend.

target=_blank>Headlines
The
Skinny: On Thursday Davis received an in home visit from a trio of Florida coaches, one of which was Jim McElwain. Though he recently committed to Oregon State, Davis is still planning to explore his option and will be in Gainesville to look more into his most recent offer. You would have to think that if Florida presses him for a commitment, they could sway him over the weekend.

target=_blank>Headlines
The
Skinny: At this time the three-star FIU commit doesn't have an offer from the Orange and Blue, but that could possibly change this weekend. Desir-Jones isn't one for interviews, but Florida is keeping him on their radar, and could possibly extend an offer this weekend depending most likely on the vibe they get from other linemen on campus.

target=_blank>Headlines
The
Skinny: Since his pledge to Florida back in May, Ivie has shut down his recruiting process and been solid to the Gators. He visited UF for just about every home game this past fall and will now get the full experience of college life this coming weekend. He will be in town on Saturday for the visit.

target=_blank>Headlines
The
Skinny: Though Jackson has been committed to Louisville for a while now the Gators have remained in the picture here and even hosted him on campus for a game this past season. He is bringing his mother with him this weekend, which is big because she didn't accompany him on his trip to either Louisville or Mississippi State.

target=_blank>Headlines
The
Skinny: This three-star big man is down to Florida and Miami heading into the visit with the Canes likely getting the slight nod as the leader. This is his first trip to Gainesville so if it goes well a big push could be made by UF here.

target=_blank>Headlines
The
Skinny: This three-star is committed to Louisville as a defensive lineman, but the Gators like him to play tight end. He is coming off visits to Louisville, Kansas State, Missouri, and will cap things off in Gainesville this weekend. It's going to be tough to flip Robinson from the Cardinals, but if any school had any shot to pull off a flip it would be UF.

target=_blank>Headlines
The
Skinny: This may be one of the biggest visitors of the entire weekend. The Gators have their work cut out to flip this four-star from Miami because he has a great relationship with Canes offensive line coach Art Kehoe. The Gators have been working tirelessly on this flip, but it is up in the air as to whether or not it will actually happen.

target=_blank>Headlines
The
Skinny: This visit is Williamson's last official visit before making his commitment next Monday on local TV. His finalists are Cal, UCLA, Michigan and Florida and this visit should likely seal the deal for a commitment to UF next week. The Gators like Williamson as an athlete and he could play either wide receiver or cornerback.
