Four-star defensive lineman Vodney Cleveland from Parker High School in Birmingham, Alabama, attended the Orange and Blue Game at Florida's Gainesville campus. According to On3 Gators Online, Cleveland left impressed with the program, stating that Florida is currently his top choice due to the game-day experience and players' competitive spirit. He specifically praised Florida's defensive linemen and has built a rapport with the coaching staff, particularly with D-line coach Gerald Chatman and running backs coach Jabbar Juluke.
Having visited Florida three times already, Cleveland plans to return for an official visit on May 30, one of six scheduled visits he has lined up with other schools such as Auburn, Georgia, Miami, North Carolina, and Texas. While Auburn poses as a strong competitor for his commitment, the recruitment cycle is ongoing, with official visits likely to play a crucial role in Cleveland's decision-making process in the coming months.
