The college football season is in full swing but Billy Napier and the Florida Gators nonetheless continue to pursue prep talent relentlessly on the recruiting trail. The latest news from the front has a member of the 2025 cycle coming to Gainesville in November.
Interior offensive lineman Nelson McGuire, a three-star talent out of Midlothian, Texas, who decommitted from the Minnesota Golden Gophers back in June, now has a date set with the Orange and Blue for Nov. 16 when the LSU Tigers come to town.
Napier and Co. offered the recruit a scholarship on Aug. 4 to which he responded positively.
“I know they are a good program and have a history of winning,” McGuire told Gators Online. “They are all about development over there at Florida. They are a great team. I just want to see where everything goes with them. I got to talk with the coaches a little bit more.”
Top Schools
The Auburn Tigers are currently in the lead for the offensive lineman’s talents.
“As of right now, they’re my leader,” McGuire told reporters. “No other school has shown me the kind of energy that they have. With the game, with the team, with the coaches and everything like that.”
The Clemson Tigers, Texas Longhorns, Texas A&M Aggies and Texas Tech Red Raiders are also reportedly in the mix.
Recruiting Summary
McGuire is ranked No. 527 overall and No. 34 at his position nationally according to the 247Sports composite while the On3 industry ranking has him at Nos. 45 and 542, respectively.
On3’s recruiting prediction machine gives Auburn a 57.1% chance of earning his commitment while Texas Tech trails behind at 38.5%.
