Rockledge (Fla.) 2023 offensive tackle Bryce Lovett has included the Florida Gators in his top four schools and will announce his college commitment on his birthday, May 16, he announced on Wednesday.

The Gators made the cut for the 6-foot-5, 330-pound tackle alongside Missouri, Iowa State and Louisville.
Lovett has emerged as one of the Gators' top targets across the offensive line in the class of 2023, as he was one of the first prospects to visit Billy Napier and UF's new coaching staff in January and has since made the trek to Gainesville four times. He has also scheduled an official visit to Florida on June 3.

"I don't know what it is," Lovett told AllGators in March about why he keeps coming back to visit the school, "but it's something about it that obviously makes me keep coming back. It's just chill, I like being here. So it's good. It's close to home, too."

The On3Sports consensus rankings list Lovett as the No. 74 interior offensive lineman in the class of 2023, although UF envisions Lovett being capable of playing tackle at the next level.

Lovett is one of two top Gators offensive line targets scheduled to make their college commitment next month, as IMG Academy (Fla.) interior lineman Knijeah Harris is set to decide between Florida, Alabama, Miami, Michigan State, Oklahoma and Texas A&M on May 7.

Florida's pushing for 4-star in-state WR Tyler Williams

Lakeland (Fla.) wide reciever Tyler Williams exploded with offers last fall and he has become one of the most coveted prospects at his position this cycle.
The 6-foot-3, 180-pound four-star is the No. 137 prospect in the On3 Consensus and Florida is squarely in the mix.

The old staff offered Williams in November and the new staff came in, picked things right up, and have had him on campus twice this spring.

Wide receivers coach Kerry Colbert has done an excellent job connecting with the No. 24 wide receiver in the country.

“Coach KC is great,” Williams told On3. “We have developed a really good relationship and I like him a lot. He is a smart coach that has a plan for his players. Coach KC has coached some top receivers, he has had players drafted, and he knows what he is doing.

“I have been at practice and I like how he coaches his group. He has good energy, he wants his players to get better, and our relationship is strong.”

Within a two week span this month, Williams visited the Swamp twice. He saw a spring practice, then was back for the spring game. He liked what he saw under the new coaching staff.

“Things were different. I was at a game last season, so I saw the old staff, and this time, there was more energy. The team was working hard, they were focused, and I really liked it.

“I liked how they are throwing the ball more, I liked the offense, I liked the receivers, and overall, I liked the energy around the team at practice and the spring game.

“It looks like the coaches have a plan and have created a good environment. The new staff wants to put the players in a good situation to do well.”

Williams will reveal his top schools on May 8 and Florida is expected to be on that list.

Clemson and Georgia have secured official visits for the first two weekends in June and the Gators are in the running for one of the final three official visits.

“Florida is definitely a school I am liking,” Williams said. “The new staff is really strong. From coach KC to coach Napier, they have a plan. They both check on me every day, they make me feel important, and I like what they are doing.”
