Florida to Host Blue-Chip RB Who's Being Pursued by Rival Program
Florida to Host Blue-Chip RB Who's Being Pursued by Rival Program originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Florida continues its recruiting efforts by hosting 4-star running back Carsyn Baker for an unofficial visit this weekend. According to a report from Chad Simmons of On3, Baker is coming off recent official visits to both the Gators and their in-state rival, Florida State. The visit signals Florida's continued push to stay competitive in what has quickly become a tightly contested recruitment. Baker is one of the top-ranked running backs in his class, and both programs appear to be making him a priority. The Gators now have another opportunity to make an impression as they prepare to host him again, this time in a more informal setting. Florida Gators quarterback Tim Tebow scores a touchdown as Ohio State Buckeyes defensive back Donald Washington attempts a tackle in the BCS National Championship Game in Glendale, Arizona, on Jan. 8, Emmons-Imagn Images Baker recently made an official visit to Gainesville. His return for an unofficial stop shows continued interest in the Gators. He also visited Tallahassee, making it clear Florida State is still in the mix. Both programs are pushing hard to land him. The in-state rivalry now extends beyond the field. Advertisement Florida fans will view this as a positive sign that the coaching staff remains in close contact with Baker, giving them another opportunity to showcase what the program has to offer. According to On3, he remains uncommitted, and the coming weeks could be pivotal in determining where he lands. This weekend's visit may not be official, but it is crucial. It gives the Gators another opportunity to host Baker and reinforce their standing. 'Florida to host blue-chip RB who's being pursued by rival program' is the headline for good reason, with Florida State being the other program closely in the mix. The Gators will be hoping that this visit strengthens their case in a recruitment battle that could go down to the wire.

USC football pulls out all the stops for massive recruiting weekend
USC football pulls out all the stops for massive recruiting weekend This past weekend was a massive one on the recruiting trail for USC football. The Trojans welcomed numerous high-profile visitors to campus, including both commits and uncommitted players. USC certainly did not hold back in putting on a show to impress those in attendance. In a recent story, USC writer Erik McKinney of On3 detailed some of what went into the Trojans' recruiting spectacle. "If there was any question as to how USC was building excitement among these 2026 recruits," McKinney wrote, "a quick look from committed cornerback Elbert Hill as to how he arrived to the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on his official visit provides plenty of insight. "USC set up a red carpet treatment down one of the Coliseum tunnels and filled it with every assistant coach and staffer on hand. Hill makes his way through the handshake line of assistant coaches, making sure to avoid all eight of USC's Heisman Trophies on display, before arriving at [general manager Chad] Bowden with a big hug. Head coach Lincoln Riley is one of his final greetings as Hill gets another up-close look at his next home." USC's efforts certainly paid off with at least one prospect, as on Sunday, the Trojans landed a commitment from four-star cornerback Peyton Dyer. Lincoln Riley and his staff are hoping that the big weekend will lead to even more recruiting victories down the line.

Georgia Tech Football Preview 2025: A True Breakthrough Year for the Yellow Jackets
Georgia Tech was 2024 SMU before 2024 SMU was 2009 Yellow Jacket team won the ACC title and would've been in a 12-team College Football 2014 team came from out of nowhere, as it fought its way to the ACC title game, but lost to a powerhouse Florida State squad. Even with that, it would've been just on the cusp of the is a program that knows it's possible to win. And now, in his third full season, head coach Brent Key might be close to having one of those teams that, if it stays healthy, can catch the right wave at the right time and do something didn't happen last season.

But to be fair, there were plenty of forgivable at Notre Dame? No shame there. Lose a tough fight at Syracuse and have problems at Louisville? That's the cost of doing business in a Power Four in eight overtimes at Georgia? Yeah, there's no dogging that. But the offense didn't get going in a loss to a mediocre Virginia Tech, and to close out with a bowl loss to Vanderbilt when things didn't quite work right … year, there's no Notre Dame. There's no Miami, or SMU, or Florida State, or Louisville. The ACC road games are Boston College, Duke, NC State, and Wake Forest. All of them are landmines, but that's about as reasonable as any big-school away slate can get. Star quarterback Haynes King is still around - it only seems like he started his career in the Bill Curry portal should fix a few problems - be stunned if there isn't more of a pass rush and a lot more of a downfield passing attack - there's more depth, more talent, the coaching staff knows what it's doing, and this should be a true breakthrough Tech Offense BreakdownGeorgia Tech Defense BreakdownSeason Prediction, Win Total, Keys to Season © 2025 The Arena Group Holdings, Inc.
