Looks like we made a few more offers this week.
http://campusinsiders.com/news/florida-gators-football-recruiting-update-03-29-2016
The Gators offered five more recruits since last week. Kevin Jarvis, Dalyn Wade-Perry, Omar Manning and Jaylon Johnson are all 2017 recruits, while Warren Thompson is in the 2018 class.
Jarvis is a 6-foot-5, 324-pound offensive guard who plays mean and attacks defensive linemen as though they've been dropping "yo mama" jokes throughout the game. He's extremely strong and is a tenacious run blocker. While he maintains a wide base and has improved his footwork, Jarvis still has a lot of room to improve as a pass protector.
Wade-Perry isn't lacking size at defensive tackle either. He stands at 6-foot-5, 310 lbs and brings a lot of athleticism to the trenches. He disengages well and fires off the ball. Wade-Perry keeps his pad level down, but could benefit from dropping some weight in order to get a little quicker.
In Manning's case, he's built to play wide receiver at the next level right now (6-foot-3, 203 lbs). He isn't the quickest receiver, but his size allows him to win one-on-one balls and to make plays in the red zone. Manning has strong hands and excellent body control. Plus, he high-points the football, which is key for a receiver of his nature when it comes to 50-50 balls.
Johnson, the fourth 2017 recruit to land an offer from the Gators last week, has the height (6-foot-1) but is a bit on the lighter side (170 lbs). He's better in press coverage than he is playing with cushion, but tightening up the footwork and reacting quicker to the ball in the air can change that. Johnson gets off blocks quickly enough to shut down the flats. He tends to hit more than wrap up in the open field, but that's just another element he can work on to improve his game.
In Thompson's case, he has elite size for a wide receiver (6-foot-4) but could stand to tack on a few pounds (185 lbs). His acceleration allows him to make plays in kick returns, and his body control and tendency to snatch the ball make him a prime red zone target. Thompson also has experience playing quarterback, which opens up the wildcat and wide receiver pass options.
Below is a sketch of how Florida's 2017 recruiting class currently looks.
