Florida's Pursuit of a Blue-Chip 2016 QB Recruit

The Florida Gators aren't settling for a single 2016 quarterback commit with less than four months remaining until national signing day.

Head coach Jim McElwain is implementing a cross-country quest to land another passer, further illustrated by his program's bye-week plans. The first-year Florida leader and assistants are attempting to capitalize on extra time by visiting key quarterback recruits.

Gators offensive coordinator Doug Nussmeier is expected to visit 4-star Maryland commit Dwayne Haskins, while McElwain himself will travel to see in-state standout and LSU pledge Feleipe Franks, per Luke Stampini of 247Sports.
