On3 4-star WR Raiden Vines-Bright locks in pair of official visits

A coveted wide receiver prospect out of Bradenton (Fla.) IMG Academy has scheduled a pair of summer official visits, he told On3 Director of Recruiting Chad Simmons.

On3 four-star wide receiver Raiden Vines-Bright will visit 2023 national title runner-up Washington on May 31 before taking an OV to Notre Dame on June 14.

Vines-Bright is fresh off of a busy January, when he took a number of unofficial visits to programs around the country. Destinations included Arizona, Florida, Miami, UCLA and USC. 

According to Vines-Bright, Arizona, Arizona State, Florida, Notre Dame, USC and Washington are making him feel like a priority. Late last week, he told On3 that he is planning to commit ahead of his senior season and may do so following his official visits in June. 

“Relationships and development are the most important things to me,” Vines-Bright told On3. “I want to know if the receivers coach is going to put all of his interest in me to try and get me to the next level. Then, I want to get the most out of playing college football in terms of playing time. Am I going to get opportunities my freshman year? I want to make an early impact.” 

More from Vines-Bright on Notre Dame, Washington

Vines-Bright is familiar with Notre Dame since its coaches have visited IMG Academy. Additionally, the four-star has developed a “really good relationship” with wide receivers coach Mike Brown, who came to the Fighting Irish from Wisconsin.

Vines-Bright built a connection with Jedd Fisch when he was the head coach at Arizona. Now, Fisch is in the same position at Washington and the Huskies are one of the programs on his radar. 

“He’s a great coach,” Vines-Bright said. “I really like how much he interacts with me and my mom. He’ll send my mom texts all the time. I really like that about him.” 

Wide receivers coach Kevin Cummings is another Washington staffer that Vines-Bright is close with. Vines-Bright – who last visited Seattle for the Huskies’ Apple Cup win over Washington State on Nov. 25 – was intrigued by Washington when it was led by Kalen DeBoer, but has “a little bit more interest now” with Fisch at the helm.
