With Walker no longer in play, Florida’s options are limited at the position. This week the Gators will evaluate
James Miller, a 3-star linebacker from Armwood High School (Seffner, Fla.).
The 6-foot-1, 225-pound prospect received an offer from Florida coach Dan Mullen and defensive coordinator Todd Grantham when they were at Mississippi State. He has also gained offers from LSU, Miami, South Florida and West Virginia, among others.
The Gators are recruiting 4-star weakside defensive ends
Andrew Chatfield and
Caleb Tannor to play outside linebacker in their 3-4 scheme. Tannor will officially visit this weekend and Chatfield also plans to take a trip to Florida.
Junior college linebacker
Chauncey Manac received an offer from the Gators on Dec. 3, but his visit plans are unknown.
Florida is not pursuing Kentucky linebacker commit Xavier Peters due to academics.
