The event Florida football recruits and fans have been waiting for has finally arrived.
Friday Night Lights, UF’s annual showcase, takes place this Friday in The Swamp. This summer’s edition has the potential to be one of the biggest in recent years.
It is scheduled to begin at 6:15 p.m. and run through 9:30. The stadium will be open to the public.
Here’s a running list of attendees that plan on coming. This blog will be updated every night with any new additions or cancellations that occur. I’ll also have a preview story up Thursday night on GatorSports.com.
In the comment section below, please let me know which recruits you want interviewed the most so our staff can prioritize those players.

I feel like the obvious first name on the list of people to be interviewed would be Bo.
Followed by Ermon Lane and Quincy Wilson. Specifically, for Wilson, ask him how he feels about everyone down here being “murders”.
Impressive…this could be the year. I don’t usually put much stock in early commitments but I’m hoping the ’15 guys make some noise at FNL ’14! Go Gators!
Interviews
2014- Bo, Lane, Wilson Yeargin
2015- Campbell, Phillips, Ivey, Cowart, Jefferson, Holland
correction,= FNL ’13,
What Gatorj said:
-Wilson, Yeargin
+ Tolliver
And Rudolph sorry
2016 QB Feleipe Franks…offered by UF and Clemson so far…I think he’ll be our next big QB commit within the next year or so.
Patrick, Cambell, Parker, Jefferson
Oops, Phillips not parker
Would love to hear from Jaques Patrick and get a feel for what he thinks of the Gators. This guy is on everybody’s wish list.
What’s the word on Adoree Jackson? Is there still a mutual interest there?
Where is Lorenzo Carter? He went to the Georgia version last weekend and they emphasized the importance of Georgia kids staying home. I know he loves the Gators, but I sure would have liked it if he was coming right after his Georgia visit…..and hung with Clark.
I would like to hear Lane’s thoughts on catching passes from Grier in The Swamp. Hopefully their throw and catch at FNL will be the first of many in G-ville.
Anybody got any predictions on who pulls trigger at FNL?
I’m gonna say for 2014 : Lane Wilson Lammons silent commit to us, I also think Travis Rudolph pulls trigger just my gut feeling!
2015: Cowart Holland Phillips, and my gut is telling me Tyreke Cole commits
Yeargin, Lane, Bo, and Wilson
Campbell, Jefferson, Holland,Cowart, Patrick, Phillips, Ivey,
Get Carter, Hand, Adams, Miller, Garrett, McMillan, Sharpe in camp
Sure I have left out someone. Go Gators!
Can some one get a hold of Toliver, Bo, Lane, Wilson, Campbell, Jefferson, Holland, Patrick, Carter, Phillips, Ivey, Cowart, and anyone else you can get to as well that I missed.
Zach, ask Campbell “Which current Gator commit(s) are you looking forward to playing with and which 2015 prospect(s) would you bring along if you could?” Just saw the video of Morrison’s arrest…’JUDGE, JURY and EXECUTIONER mentality strikes again!’ Cops are human and make mistakes but the ones, making irrational hasty decisions are a DANGER TO SOCIETY! This guy definitely does not need to be working in that area/club environment! I hope things workout for Morrison…so many were/are ready to throw him out on the street! Go Gators!
Bo, Bo, Bo, Bo, Bo, and….BO!! Really want this guy at UF. Bama has had more than its share of big time RBs. We need to pay them back for stealing TR in 09. Also wouldn’t mind hearing what Lane, Patrick, Campbell, and Toliver have to say and Lorenzo Carter if he shows.
Ermon Lane and George Campbell, please
IMO based off the stuff I’ve heard I’m almost certain Byron Cowart commits. Phillips and Holland are potential candidates as well. I’m really hoping lane and Wilson just end it and commit to UF at FNL. Maybe we get a commit from one of these “surprise” OL that’s supposed to show
I think Bo and Dalvin Cook. Cook for all the hype the UM recruits are pushing him to stay home and with all the recruit boards saying Moten is headed to the U
Zach,
Is Christain Miller coming to FNL? He has got a good relationship with Coach Lawing due to Christain’s dad Cory. I hear Christain is making the rounds to other schools after decommitting. Appears he has narrowed his choice down to AL, GA and FL. Whats the scoop?
’14 – Bo, Lane, Rudolph, Yeargin
’15 – Campbell, Phillips, Jefferson, Pittman
Zach,
You wrote an article not long ago saying Lorenzo Carter called UF his “dream school” and had them leading. Any chance he shows up for FNL?
Where is David Sharpe? Figured he would be at this event
Sharpe said he’s not going. I think carter said he wasn’t planning on taking anymore visits in the AJC interview the other day. I doubt christian shows even though some say he might. He wants to be in a true 3-4 defense, which we are not
Adoree Jackson, pleaaaaaase. The kids an animal
Why did ermone lane back out. 247sports had him crystal ball to us and now last minute no show.
I thought sharpe was the only must have in the class… Ouch on him, lane, and carter
Lane, Campbell, Miller, Sharpe, Garrett, and McMillan are not attending. Are we strong with these kids or do they appear to be falling away?
Easy
2014 – All of our current commits, Bo, Adoree, Quincy W, Lammons
(Make sure to ask Cook ab trying to get Bo to flip from Bama!!!!!!!!!!!!)
2015 – Cowart, CeCe (a MUST), Ivey, Pitmman, Trenton T, BARNET IS A MUST, Devonte, and Holland
2016 – Feleipe, Craig, Jackson
And I agree with everyone who agrees with Morrison’s suspension needing to be lifted, revoked, or diminished! Muschamp should show that he supports his players when they’re wrongfully treated and arrested! Because all this was, was a power trip by a cop who’s probably lacking you know where…
Adore Jackson, Bo, and why isn’t nobody talking about Rivals250 class of ’15 top 10 ATH Erik Pitts. This kid is a beast. Being recruited by Miami, and Auburn, the gators know he is the next Tim Tebow. Stronger arm and faster. Please interview him. And what’s up with David Sharpe??
Dalvin Cook.
What is the situation with Dalvin Cook? There will be three RB targets at FNL…, and he is visiting Bama on Monday.
Correction: Dalvin Cook is visiting Texas on Monday.
Lane, carte, campbell, hand, macmillan, and garrett whAt happened?
Lane (UF lean), Campbell (UF lean), Miller, Sharpe, Garrett (LSU lock), and McMillan (OSU near-lock, attended their FNL camp on Friday)
Campbell just committed to UMich. They have a no visit policy. Zach how do you think this is going to go down. Mason Cole is the one that made him skip FNL. Sure would be nice to actually have UF locks again. Campbell really hurt UF with this one. Off our back door to UM over some BBQ. Not even good BBQ. UM got him by getting all the WR from the same school to commit earlier.
