Florida hosting top recruit Robert Nkemdiche, others

With National Signing Day just a few weeks away, Florida has several official visits lined up for this weekend.

Florida is expecting to welcome a nice group of official visitors this weekend as it tries to wrap up its 2013 recruiting class.

The biggest name visiting is Robert Nkemdiche, a consensus five-star defensive end and the No. 1 player in the class from Loganville, Ga., Grayson High School. Nkemdiche also has an upcoming visit to Ole Miss on Jan. 25.

Florida will also look to convince Tashawn Bower a consensus four-star defensive end from Sommerville, N.J. Immaculata High School currently committed to Auburn to play for the Tigers. Kennard Swanson, an uncommitted consensus three-star fullback from Lakeland, Fla., Lake Gibson High School, will also be on campus.

The Gators are expecting visits from committed recruits including Keanu Neal, a five-star safety from Bushnell, Fla., South Sumter High School, Alvin Bailey, a consensus four-star wide receiver from Seffner, Fla., Armwood High School, Antonio Riles, a consensus three-star defensive end from Lawrenceville, Ga., Archer High School, Marqui Hawkins, a four-star wide receiver from Columbus, Ga., Carver High School and Octavius Jackson, a consensus three-star offensive guard from Moultrie, Ga., Colquitt County High School.
