Rivals250 defensive tackle Xavier McLeod will announce his commitment on Thursday at 6:30 pm EST. McLeod will choose between the Florida Gators, Georgia Bulldogs, Michigan Wolverines, and South Carolina Gamecocks.
Xavier McLeod is a 6'4" 324-pound defensive tackle out of Camden High School in Camden, South Carolina. He is the 184th-ranked recruit and the sixth-ranked defensive tackle in the country. McLeod is also the second-ranked recruit in the state of South Carolina.
During the recruiting process, McLeod received over 20 offers from some of the best football programs in the country. He holds offers from schools like Alabama, Florida, Florida, Georgia, LSU, Michigan, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas, and Texas A&M.
The blue-chip defensive lineman is set to announce his college commitment as he'll immediately become the highest-ranked commit to either team he chooses. As a reminder, his final four schools are Florida, Georgia, Michigan, and South Carolina.
The Florida Gators have been smoking hot on the recruiting trail. They currently have the country's ninth-ranked recruiting class and fourth in the SEC. With Florida being the hot team, they might surprise everyone and add to an already deep and talented defensive line class. Sean Spencer has been terrific on the trail and is the primary recruiter for Florida in Xavier McLeod's recruitment.
The Georgia Bulldogs are always a threat to land big-time recruits. Their defensive line coach, Tray Scott, is one of the best in the nation and is the primary recruiter in McLeod's recruitment. Georgia has gotten him on campus multiple times and has been making a late push to land the South Carolina native.
The Michigan Wolverines are the only school in McLeod's final four that has hosted him for an official visit. McLeod took a trip to Ann Arbor for an official visit with the Michigan Wolverines on June 23rd. Michigan's recruiting coordinator and defensive line coach, Mike Elston, is the primary recruiter for Michigan in McLeod's recruitment.
The South Carolina Gamecocks are the fourth and final option for Xavier McLeod. While he has used an official visit to South Carolina, he's been on campus multiple times. South Carolina and McLeod have built a strong relationship, especially with defensive line coach Jimmy Lindsey.
With all that said, I think Xavier McLeod will stay home and announce his commitment to the South Carolina Gamecocks. This would be a strong recruiting win for the Gamecocks. Georgia is a threat to land the Rivals250 defensive lineman, but I think he's staying close to home. With all of the defensive linemen in Florida's class, I think they will be picky when choosing their final defensive tackle. Jordan Hall and Kayden McDonald are two other top targets on Florida's defensive tackle recruiting board.
Prediction: South Carolina Gamecocks
