Five Top College Football Recruit Visit Visits to Watch This Week
As the college football visit season heats up, top prospects from around the country are making their way to campuses to explore their options and interact with coaching staff. This week, we highlight five of the most surprising and interesting visits scheduled, starting with those in the East region.
David Sanders’ Visit to South Carolina
David Sanders, a highly sought-after recruit, is set to take an official visit to South Carolina. While it’s not unusual for him to visit the Gamecocks, what stands out is that this is his first scheduled official visit, with no unofficial visit planned. South Carolina may be considered a longshot in his recruitment, but coach Shane Beamer’s proactive approach of getting Sanders on campus early could work in their favor.
Faheem Delane’s Visit to Texas
Faheem Delane, a coveted safety, has been heavily pursued by Ohio State and Oregon. However, Texas has an opportunity to shake things up with an upcoming unofficial visit from Delane on April 13. The Longhorns’ success in recruiting top safeties in recent years makes Delane’s visit to Austin intriguing and could potentially sway his decision.
Bryce Davis’ Visit to USC
Defensive lineman Bryce Davis, who has Georgia and Clemson as top contenders, will be taking an official visit to USC. This unexpected move by USC to host Davis on June 21 signals their determination to bolster their defensive line. Landing Davis could be a significant step forward for USC in addressing their need for impact players on the front lines.
Jaylen Gilchrist’s Visit to Georgia
Offensive lineman Jaylen Gilchrist has official visits lined up with South Carolina, Virginia, and Maryland, but the visit to watch is his trip to Georgia. While the Gamecocks have been leading in his recruitment, Georgia has been actively communicating with Gilchrist and could make a move during his official visit on June 14. Virginia and Maryland remain contenders, but South Carolina has put in the most effort so far.
Jaelyne Matthews’ Visit to Syracuse
Former Penn State commit Jaelyne Matthews has official visits set to Georgia and Tennessee, with another scheduled for Syracuse. The Orange, led by Fran Brown, continue to attract top talent from the East Coast. Matthews, a talented prospect at a premium position, is giving Syracuse serious consideration, showcasing the program’s ability to draw in high-caliber recruits.
As the college football recruiting landscape evolves, these visits offer a glimpse into the strategic moves being made by both prospects and programs. Stay tuned for updates on these visits and their potential impact on the upcoming season.
