Potential Friday Night Lights commits
Richard Gouraige, 4-star offensive tackle tackle, Tampa, Fla.: The Under Armour All-American last visited Florida for the spring game and returned Friday with his mother and his siblings. The Gators have been his leader for several months. Gouraige told SEC Country he plans to commit “whenever the time feels right.”

Randy Russell, 4-star safety, Miami.: A few days after his June visit to Florida, Russell backed off his commitment to his hometown Miami Hurricanes. Russell recently named a top 5 of Florida, Louisville, Michigan, UCLA, and Virginia Tech, but the Gators are the overwhelming favorite to land him.

Tyquan Thornton, 3-star wide receiver, Miami.: Thornton de-committed from Baylor on June 7 just days after receiving offers from Florida and Miami. The in-state rivals are in Thornton’s top 5 along with the Bears, Georgia and Pittsburgh, but it appears to be a two-team battle between the Gators and Hurricanes.
