Florida football recruiting: Gators offer 5-star UGA commit, No. 2 RB
By Will Thomas
Florida football recruiting isn’t slowing down on the recruiting trail despite only having a couple of spots left in their 2024 class.
They recently extended an offer to the No. 2 running back in the ’24 cycle, who recently committed to Georgia.
Nathaniel Frazier, out of Mater Dei in Santa Ana, California, is the latest recipient of a Gators’ offer and may become a major target for Napier and Co. down the stretch.
Despite swooping in late and needing to fight off UGA for him, the Gators could be an interesting team to watch in Nathaniel’s recruitment.
Florida football recruiting: Electric playmaking ability on every down
Frazier’s tape just leaves you saying one word: “Wow”.
Right off the bat, you see why he’s ranked as highly as he is. He has crazy acceleration and an elite burst, as well as the field vision to find the best way to the endzone on every snap.
He has a great combination of size and speed. At 5’10”-210, he has the mass and frame to be a bowling ball and fight off tacklers every time he has the ball.
But he has the type of speed that a lot of wide receivers wish they had. On the track he has times of 10.73 in the 100m and 22.09 in the 200m.
In his junior season, he totaled 61 carries, 791 yards (11.4 yards per carry), and nine touchdowns. He has the ability to be much more productive than that as the feature back at an SEC school.
A commitment to Georgia is a tough one to flip, but there’s no doubt that Billy Napier and his staff are going to do all they can.
Adding him to a class with DJ Lagway and the three wideouts that Florida has committed (Izaiah Wilson, Jerrae Hawkins, Tawaski Abrams) would be one of the best offensive hauls in the country.
Plus, you keep Frazier away from UGA, Win-win.
