Richard Young, Alabama 5-star running back pledge, taking another Florida Gators visit this weekend

Will he or won't he visit?

That was the question coming into the weekend regard Lehigh High School (Florida) star Richard Young and a possible third trip to Florida.

The 5-foot-11, 200-pound ball-carrier is committed to Alabama and rated the nation's No. 1 running back by ESPN and No. 2 running back by Rivals.

So, a possible (third) visit was big news.

Florida fans got their answer via a photo from On3's Zach Abolverdi:

Florida's 2023 recruiting class is ranked No. 8 nationally and has a big-time in-state back already in the fold in Trinity Christian Academy's Treyaun Webb, who recently delivered a physically-dominating touchdown run 

But modern football seemingly demands a 1-2 punch at the running back position - and Young would be stellar addition.

As a junior, Young carried the ball 196 times for 1,755 yards and 19 touchdowns, averaging 9.0 yards per carry. This season, he's racked up 532 yards and three scores in four games. 

Young's third visit to Gainesville is sure to raise some eyebrows, especially with it being one of the bigger recruiting weekends of the year for Florida.
