Over the past 24 hours, the Gators have expanded their big boards for multiple positional groups in the 2025 class, especially along the offensive line.<\/p>\n
One of the recipients of a scholarship offer<\/a> from Billy Napier\u2019s staff was All-American SJ Alofaituli<\/a>.<\/p>\n Representing powerhouse Las Vegas (Nev.) Bishop Gorman, Alofaituli is the No. 1-ranked interior offensive lineman in his class. He is also the 82nd-ranked prospect overall. That is according to the On3 Industry Ranking<\/a>, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.<\/p>\n JOIN GATORS ONLINE TODAY!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n \u201cThey won three national titles in the last 20 years,\u201d Alofaituli said of Florida<\/a> when speaking with Gators Online<\/strong>. \u201cI love Emmitt Smith. And their worst lost against their rivals in 1994, those are the best games because they burn you to always be better.<\/p>\n \u201cI personally experienced that during my first year at Bishop Gorman when we played Arizona. Personally, it was one of my best games, but the loss was painful.\u201d<\/p>\n Like the additional offensive linemen who were offered this week, Alofaituli learned of his latest Power Five opportunity when speaking with Gators offensive coordinator and co-offensive line coach, Rob Sale.<\/p>\n \u201cCoach Rob Sale was the one that called and offered me on behalf of the college,\u201d said Alofaituli. \u201cHe was easy going to talk to. Overall, the vibe was great.\u201d<\/p>\n SUBSCRIBE TO OUR NEWSLETTER AND GET BREAKING NEWS SENT FOR FREE<\/strong><\/a>!<\/p>\n While a date is not scheduled, the 6-foot-3, 270-pound Alofaituli says he would love to visit the Gators during the first half of 2024. Making that trip during the season is highly unlikely due to distance.<\/p>\n In addition to UF, Alofaituli possesses offers from Alabama, Georgia, USC, Oregon, LSU, Oklahoma, Michigan, Tennessee and Miami among others.<\/p>\n \u201cToo soon to tell, but it\u2019s up there,\u201d Alofaituli replied when asked where Florida fits into his recruitment.<\/p>\n According to the\u00a0On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine<\/a><\/strong>, hometown UNLV holds the early advantage, but those odds are just at 7.2 percent. USC comes in at No. 2 with a percentage of just 6.3.<\/p>\n RPM was released to the public in December 2021. The On3 engineering group teamed up with\u00a0Spiny.ai<\/a>\u00a0to create the industry\u2019s first algorithm and machine learning-based product to predict where athletes will attend college.<\/p>\n It factors in machine learning, social sentiment, visits and historical trends. However, expert predictions are still a big piece of the RPM equation.<\/p>\n Stay tuned to Gators Online<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The post Florida Gators take next step with No. 1-ranked interior offensive lineman SJ Alofaituli<\/a> appeared first on On3<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Over the past 24 hours, the Gators have expanded their big boards for multiple positional…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12547","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12547","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12547"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12547\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12547"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12547"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12547"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Visiting the Gators is high on the wish list for Alofaituli<\/h2>\n
