Van Nuys (Calif.) Birmingham three-star athlete Arlis Boardingham has committed to Florida, announcing the news Wednesday on CBS Sports HQ.

He chose the Gators over Oregon.

Those three make up eight of the classes 10 players.

He is the 19th-best athlete in the country and 39th-best player in the state of California.

“I’ve seen Boardingham in action and he could play Tight End, Edge or perhaps Outside Linebacker in certain schemes,” WeAreSC’s Scott Schrader said. “Either way he’s an extremely talented and (athletic) athlete with impressive size.”

He has an On3 NIL Valuation of $15,300. The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.
