As Kamauri Whitfield approaches some 30 scholarship provides forward of his junior season of highschool, some new tenders are available in with extra weight than others.
On Wednesday, he helped Orlando (Fla.) The First Academy to a group 7-on-7 name on the University of Florida in operating the huge receiver and defensive again postitions. He would be told of a Gators scholarship be offering earned, by means of head trainer Billy Napier himself, quickly after.
“This offer is probably my favorite after Nebraska as it’s house,” Whitfield advised Rivals. “Just an hour away from me. The tradition, culture and love at Florida just moves me.”
The 2027 standout says the Gator be offering got here as a two-way ability, one thing he’s listening to increasingly more all the way through the method in spite of nearly all of tenders coming to play within the secondary on the subsequent degree.
Another SEC tab, with this system closest to house, hits in a memorable means.
“When your’e at the facility you automatically fall in love,” he mentioned. “Like it has this special feeling.
Auburn, Arkansas, Wisconsin and several others are new to the offer list, but the Nebraska tender in mid May also came after an in-person evaluation. The Huskers had coaches at TFA’s spring game, where Whitfield scored on an 80-yard catch and run on the game’s first play while flashing on defense on multiple occasions.
The communication between Whitfield and Matt Rhule’s staff dates back more than a year despite the offer sitting among his newest.
“Nebraska’s were given me hyped on account of its entire vibe,” he said. “Straight-up grind, grit, and a circle of relatives really feel the place soccer’s mainly lifestyles for the neighborhood. Coach Rhule and the staff are authentic, particularly Addison (Williams). We’ve been in touch since I began my recruiting adventure, when he used to be at UCF. They’re a degree up, and the amenities (are robust).
“Plus, Lincoln’s low-key but just an hour from Omaha, so I’d have a dope balance to grow on and off the field.”
As visits proceed to materialize this offseason, Whitfield maintains an ease together with his recruitment in spite of the early favorites.
There is not any expectation to return off the board with an early verbal dedication.
