Gators to have a visit from this legacy on his Spring College Tour 2025 ATH

Spring is in the air for college football player recruitment as the month of March moves on. Now that dead time is well in the rearview mirror, Gridiron programs across the country have their nose to the grindstone with spring drills ongoing as well as a variety of prep prospects arriving on campus.

Billy Napier and the Florida Gators worked hard to bring Orange and Blue back to glory, tirelessly doing whatever it took to lure the best and brightest into the swamp. Among those now visiting the University of Florida is an athlete Vernell Brown III of Wildwood, Fla. in the 2025 recruitment cycle, which recently said swamp 247 that he plans to pay an unofficial visit to the Gators on April 14 – the final stop on his spring college tour.

The 5-foot-11.5-inch, 170-pound high school sophomore is a legacy with the football team through his father, the former Gators defenseman Vernell Brown Sr., who appeared in 45 games for Florida from 2001-2005 and currently serves as UF’s senior director of student-athlete development and alumni relations, according to Florida’s team website.

Brown’s spring travel schedule began with stops west for visits to the Arizona State Sun Devils and Arizona Wildcats this weekend, while he plans to swing across the state of Texas next weekend and visit the TCU Horned Frogs, Baylor Bears and others Texas longhorns.

The coveted athlete then targets the south-eastern part of the country with fixed dates Clemson TigerSouth Carolina Gamecocks and Tennessee volunteers starting Friday March 31st. Brown will be hanging out in the area the following Monday, with Peach State planning stops with the Georgia Bulldogs and Georgia Tech Yellowjackets.

Brown is unrated and unranked by either 247sport association And On3 industry ranking. On3’s Recruiting Prediction Machine has the Gators at the top of the state goal with a 56.2% chance of signing him, while the South Florida Bulls, Florida State Seminoles and Troy Trojans have 17.5%, 15% and 1.1% follow behind.
