Recruiting from the high school ranks is not at all easy and often is a thankless effort for a college football staff. However, the critical component in convincing a young student-athlete to attend your school is the establishment of a healthy relationship between the two parties.

The good news for the Florida Gators is that they are on his radar for a future visit.
“I’m going to SMU in May, Texas Tech in June and Florida somewhere in May or June,” Fenuku said.
