Jerrick Gibson, nation's No. 1 RB in 2024, visiting Miami Hurricanes instead of Florida Gators this weekend

IMG Academy (Florida) has been a factory for bluechip college football talent in recent years and that won't slow down any time soon.

Lately, however, the national powerhouse program has a been a pipeline for the Miami Hurricanes, having secured five-star offensive tackle Francis Mauigoa, elite edge-rusher Jayden Wayne and top-five tight end Riley Williams.

Hoping to continue that trend in the 2024 class, Miami added a major visitor to this weekend's list.

Class of 2024 five-star prospect Jerrick Gibson, the nation's No. 7 overall prospect and No. 1 running back, announced that he changed his weekend plans and will be visiting Mario Cristobal's program instead of the Florida Gators:

Gibson was previously committed to Florida, but decommitted in February. 

With his recruitment re-opened, the dynamic ball-carrier is looking into his options more thoroughly this time around.

This weekend will mark his first trip to Miami.

And if Cristobal continues to work his IMG Academy magic, the Hurricanes could be a major contender to watch the rest of the way.
