USF Bulls hosting important official visit weekend June 14-16

To open the month of June, the USF coaching staff had their focus on various prospect camps they hosted or attended, and now, it’s official visit season in Tampa.

Sources tell On3 that USF is hosting 10 official visitors this weekend. Earlier this week, the Bulls had Oakdale (Conn.) St. Thomas More tight end Brandon Kubay on campus, and USF will have more midweek official visitors next week as well as a group of around 20 players in town June 21-23.

Included in this weekend’s visitor list for Alex Golesh and Co. is three commits. Fort Lauderdale (Fla.) St. Thomas Aquinas offensive lineman Caleb Harris, Apopka (Fla.) Wekiva safety Jabari Smith and Tampa (Fla.) Alonso pass catcher Ben Cole are spending their weekend in the 813.

Sarasota (Fla.) Booker running back Jamarice Wilder, a former Colorado commit who ranks as the No. 55 overall running back in America according to On3’s own rankings, is also at USF. Indiana, West Virginia, Michigan State and Cincinnati are just a few of the schools on his offer sheet.

The Bulls are playing host to Moultrie (Ga.) Colquitt County offensive lineman Khalil Collins, a 6-3, 305-pounder. Troy and Arkansas State look to be the biggest competition for USF in his recruitment.

Powder Springs (Ga.) Harrison’s Colin Bellomy is listed by On3 as an EDGE prospect, but the Bulls are recruiting the 6-6, 245-pounder as an offensive line recruit. Bellomy previously announced he’d be at Virginia Tech this weekend, but he’s in Tampa instead. He visited Memphis last weekend and is expected at Kansas next weekend.

Miami Northwestern three-star cornerback Tywan Cox is a huge USF target in the 2025 cycle, and the Bulls’ staff is excited about hosting him this weekend. Cox officially visited Florida Atlantic last weekend and holds offers from the likes of Vanderbilt, Miami, Syracuse and Pittsburgh. The Bulls look to be in a really good spot for the 5-11, 170-pounder.

One of the most interesting storylines this weekend is the official visit of Riverview (Fla.) Sumner safety Jeremiah Jones, who the Bulls have not yet offered. The staff saw him at camp earlier this month and were impressed with him. It wouldn’t be a surprise to see USF offer him a scholarship, and the Bulls would be tough to beat.

USF is hosting a pair of intriguing defensive prospects this weekend. One of them is Rocky Point (N.C.) Heide Trask’s Sherrod Henderson, a three-star EDGE recruit who totaled 75 tackles and 12 sacks on defense last year, plus 1,250 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns. He reports a 4.57 40-yard dash at 6-3, 220 pounds. The Bulls are battling a couple notable teams, as Henderson officially visited Michigan State last weekend and heads to Virginia Tech next weekend.

And Peachtree City (Ga.) McIntosh’s Evan Ward, who ranks as a the No. 35 “athlete” nationally and No. 75 player in Georgia per On3, is at USF. The Bulls look to be in really good shape with Ward, who added USF to his offer sheet May 10. Cincinnati, East Carolina, Buffalo and Western Kentucky are among his other offers.
