This weekend, the Florida Gators hosted targets from all over the country but one of the most important visitors was from an instate prospect.\n<\/p>\n
Defensive back Andre Hyppolite (6-1, 180, Miami, FL. North Miami Beach) was on campus and enjoying getting to see everything the staff had to offer.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cSpending several days here, it was great,\u201d Hyppolite said of his visit to Florida this weekend. \u201cYou know, I\u2019ve seen everything I need to see on campus. It\u2019s a great community, the team is a great team. The coaches, everything you need to see like the facilities, all the resources they have here, you can\u2019t complain about nothing.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
The way the coaching staff treated Hyppolite and his family this weekend stood out to the defensive back, and he knows he\u2019s wanted in Gainesville.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cThis visit, just seeing everything they have to offer,\u201d he said on what stood out to him. \u201cJust how they came about things, they didn\u2019t push for me to make a decision, they just let me know like this is what Florida is whether you come here or not. We would love to have you here on our team as a part of this.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
While on campus, several coaches spent a lot of time with Hyppolite and all of them made it known that he\u2019s a priority for the staff.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cI talk to Coach Harris a lot, Coach Collins and Coach White,\u201d Hyppolite said on the coaches he talks to the most. \u201cA lot of them talk to me and they make me like a priority.\n<\/p>\n
Hyppolite and safeties coach Chris Collins spent a lot of time together and the Miami native believes they have a lot in common.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cJust that we\u2019re very similar in ways,\u201d he said on his relationship with Collins. \u201cNothing was handed to us, we had to go grind for it so I know he\u2019ll pour a lot into me and I trust him a lot. I just know that he\u2019ll make me the best player possible if I come here and hopefully a first round draft pick but just overall like a great gator.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
Next up for Hyppolite will be trips to Miami, Georgia, and Notre Dame but he says the Gators helped themselves this weekend.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019re pretty high, very high on my list after this visit,\u201d Hyppolite said on where Florida stands for him. \u201cThey were already high on my list from when I first got the offer but you know they talked to me a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This weekend, the Florida Gators hosted targets from all over the country but one of the most important…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":511908,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[399,398,396,397,99],"class_list":["post-689350","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ncaa-football","tag-football","tag-ncaa","tag-ncaa-football","tag-ncaafootball","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/689350","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=689350"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/689350\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/511908"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=689350"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=689350"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=689350"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
