4-star WR Dre’lon Miller names top schools — and Florida Gators make the cut

Touted 4-star receiver target Dre’lon Miller of Silsbee (Texas) revealed his top schools Sunday — and Florida made the cut.

Miller, a top-100 national recruit, has a top group of Florida, Duke, Georgia, LSU, Miami, Penn State, Southern California, Tennessee, Texas A&M.

He is the No. 16 receiver and No. 77 overall prospect in the country according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

The Gators hope to get him on campus in June.

The Florida staff is getting help in this recruitment from the program’s 5-star QB commit

Per On3’s Sam Spiegelman, 5-star Florida quarterback commit DJ Lagway, also of Texas, “is working alongside Gators coach Billy Napier and new receivers coach Billy Gonzales to recruit Miller to the Swamp. The Gators are trending for an official visit from Miller, who will likely be joined by the prized quarterback on the trip.”

Lagway’s efforts seem to be having an impact on Miller. How much of one, though, remains to be seen.

“DJ is always talking to me,” Miller told On3. “DJ and JJ (Jeremiah Smith) left me and went, so I need to get up there with DJ and see what it’s all about. I’ve been waiting to go with him and he told me I’m not gonna go home when I get there, so I can’t wait to see it.”

LSU is the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine favorite at this time with a projection rate of 85.8 percent.

Miller has set his commitment date for June 29. He knows what he’s looking for.

“When it comes to the schools I’m looking at, I’m going to look at the quarterbacks, how I fit into the offense, how early I can get on the field and if I feel at home there when I make my commitment,” Miller told On3’s Chad Simmons on March 13.
