3 Osceola bluechip prospects set to announce commitments Thursday evening
A flurry of college football commitments will soon pour out of the state of Florida.
The highly-anticipated series of pledges began Wednesday with the commitment of Jones High School (Orlando) linebacker Malik Bryant, who chose the Miami Hurricanes.
But more are on the way.
On Thursday evening three more Florida bluechip prospects are set to announce their commitments, and all three hail from Osceola High School: defensive linemen John Walker and Derrick LeBlanc and cornerback Ja'Keem Jackson.
Walker, the nation's No. 11 defensive lineman, is down to a final five of Central Florida, Florida, Miami, Michigan and Ohio State, but the Knight are considered the overwhelming favorites.
The 6-foot-3, 310-pound defensive tackle will announce his decision at 6 p.m. ET/3 p.m. PT on his Instagram.
Next up will be LeBlanc, the nation's No. 9 defensive lineman.
The 6-foot-4, 270-pound All-American Bowl selection is down to Florida, Oklahoma and Penn State, but it's the Sooners who are considered the leaders heading into his decision.
LeBlanc will announce on his Instagram at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT.
At 7:30 p.m. ET/4:30 p.m. PT Osceola's third bluechip commitment of the day will take place with Under Armour All-American cornerback Ja'Keem Jackson.
The 6-foot-1, 180-pound defensive back is down to Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Kentucky, Penn State and Tennessee.
Heading into his decision, the Gators are seen as a significant favorite.
While that should put a bow on the Osceola commitments for the day, there are still several Florida commitments upcoming.
Here's a quick look at other Florida prospects expected to commit in the coming days:
- Trinity Catholic three-star offensive lineman Tommy Kinsler - Thursday evening
- Boone High School (Orlando) four-star wide receiver Aidan Mizell - Friday
- West Orange High School four-star safety Jordan Castell - Saturday
- Lake Mary High School four-star cornerback Braeden Marshall - Saturday at 6:45 p.m. ET/3 p.m. PT
