There is no doubt which offensive lineman is the top remaining priority for the Gators.<\/p>\n
That is none other than Bradenton (Fla.) IMG Academy star Jordan Seaton<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Gators are a major player in his recruitment and expected to receive an official visit from the top-100 prospect next weekend. That visit could certainly impact his recruitment as a whole; however, plenty of additional schools are in the mix and will also play host.<\/p>\n If you are Florida<\/a>, you cannot put all your eggs into one basket. Nothing is guaranteed in recruiting, especially when it comes to elite prospects in the NIL era and when you have an unlimited amount of official visits. We are over three months away from the Early Signing Period as well.<\/p>\n And because all of that, UF is still evaluating and sent out another offer on Tuesday.<\/p>\n It was for 6-foot-7, 250-pound Kalolo Ta\u2019aga<\/a>, a first-year player who is committed to San Jose State.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t know too much, but Florida I know is hot and humid,\u201d Ta\u2019aga told Gators Online<\/strong>. \u201cI spoke with Buster Davis this morning and he says it\u2019s like family there, so when we visit, we will see what it\u2019s like.<\/p>\n \u201cOverall, I felt a warm welcome from the recruiters. I still have to speak to the offensive line coaches (Rob Sale and Darnell Stapleton).\u201d<\/p>\n Ross Bares, who takes on the role of quality control personnel, is the Gators staff member who extended the scholarship offer. He was a player personnel assistant last season after spending the 2021 season in the same role at Louisiana. Prior to that, he spent time at LSU, his alma mater.<\/p>\n \u201cHe is a great person, you know? Messages with respect and nothing less. I already new I had a warm welcoming,\u201d said Ta\u2019aga.<\/p>\n While a trip to Gainesville is not finalized, Ta\u2019aga says UF fans will likely see him on campus at some point.<\/p>\n \u201cAs of now, no, but maybe toward the end of our season,\u201d Ta\u2019aga said of visiting the Gators.<\/p>\n SUBSCRIBE TO OUR NEWSLETTER AND GET BREAKING NEWS SENT FOR FREE<\/strong><\/a>!<\/p>\n Hailing from Palo Alto (Cali.) Archbishop Riordan, Ta\u2019aga committed to San Jose State on July 31 despite holding offers from several Power Five programs. That is because the Spartans\u2019 campus is just roughly 30 minutes from his home.<\/p>\n However, earning an SEC offer from a school like Florida is a different type of conversation and Ta\u2019aga knows that. Going forward, the Gators \u201cdefinitely will be a consideration.\u201d<\/p>\n Arizona, Arizona State, Utah, Utah State and UNLV are some additional offers on the table.<\/p>\n \u201cI am in a blessed position. All thanks and glory goes to God. Only thing we can do now is work and keep grinding until the time comes,\u201d said Ta\u2019aga.<\/p>\n Stay tuned to Gators Online<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The post Florida Gators take next step with first-year offensive lineman committed elsewhere<\/a> appeared first on On3<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There is no doubt which offensive lineman is the top remaining priority for the Gators….<\/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-15808","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\/15808","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=15808"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15808\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15808"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15808"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15808"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Will Florida receive a visit?<\/h2>\n
