One of the top running back prospects in the 2024 recruiting class reportedly has the Gators under “heavy consideration” to land his services.
Tampa native Anthony Carrie is a four-star prospect and the No. 23 player in the state of Florida, according to the 247Sports composite. The Carrollwood Day running back recently visited Gainesville during the first week of January’s “contact period”.
Carrie had been on campus before but, according to 247Sports, was with a much smaller group this time around. This provided much more one-on-one time with the coaches and staff, which Carrie cites as being what he took away from this latest visit.
Running backs coach Jabbar Juluke is spearheading Carrie’s recruitment and has been in constant contact with Carrie, even re-offering him last season after being initially offered a scholarship from the previous staff. The on-campus visit came the day after head coach Billy Napier was at Carrollwood Day on a recruiting trip, where Napier was able to get some facetime with the 6-foot, 185-pound standout.
Carrie currently has 12 schools on his list heading into his junior season. While a long list, Florida is confident that they are towards the top of the list given their relationship with Carrie and its proximity to home. Carrie even noted he wants to bring his family to Gainesville so that they may get a feel for the campus as well.
Carrie will make a visit to Penn State this weekend but did not disclose any other further visit plans to 247Sports.
