The big local star has long been most comfortable and potentially most desired by the Miami Hurricanes but a pair of programs are challenging The U for the lengthy defensive lineman. Penn State just locked in an official visit date with the four-star and Louisville is working to do the same. Should the Cardinals prove successful with their logistics, this could become a three-team battle with a summer decision expected.
After a banner effort at Rivals Camp, Broadnax picked up SEC offers from Florida and Tennessee on consecutive days to push his list of options near two dozen. The Gator tender came during an unofficial visit and the program made an impression, perhaps the biggest among in-state options. Broadnax is high on Wisconsin, Louisville, Syracuse, Kentucky, Mississippi State and others very early on.
Heavy ACC options are already in for the Ocala (Fla.) Trinity Catholic standout including Miami, Louisville and Georgia Tech. He’s already frequented those programs, and many others, as he begins the final descent in his recruitment. Gordon wants to come off the board prior to his senior season this fall and he cited Georgia Tech as a program doing great work with him at this time.
Official visits are set for Rutgers, Georgia Tech and Louisville during June and a decision could come soon after.
The list remains long for Hill, who had been committed to Colorado but only for about a month after a visit in the fall. A recent visit to Memphis went really well for the Warner Robins (Ga.) Houston County standout and the Tigers have him thinking. Louisville, Florida State, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Florida, Colorado, Alabama, Cincinnati and Georgia Tech are also involved. This could be a situation, too, where other schools have top targets and if they strike out then Hill could be a great second option so his recruitment could go on for a while.
The Louisville commitment showed up sporting Cardinals gear from nearly head to toe, even working out with the logo on his towel, and Mims confirmed he remains rock solid to the program. It doesn’t mean other programs have stopped reaching out, he says. In-state Auburn and Florida State have been persistent with the Oxford (Ala.) High School star. Mims isn’t sure if he would even consider trips to other programs going forward.
