Billy Napier and Darnell Stapleton visited four-star offensive line commit Fletcher Westphal, at his new home in Florida, on Monday. Rob Sale had already visited him two other times.
Here is what his mother, Libby Westphal, had to say about the visit:
It was a great visit. Coach Napier talked about the growth on the field he saw in Fletcher his senior season, talked about a lot of football, and about the current team and the need to have a solid foundation of dedicated players. Kept emphasizing how different the SEC is compared to the other conferences - a different level of competition and growth opportunities. He was scheduled to leave at 6:30 pm. We could hear his phone pinging and beeping, but he never looked at it. He was locked in on Fletcher and left around 8 pm. In 10 days, we’ve had three visits in two different states/homes. It just shows their commitment to making sure Fletcher knows he’s a priority to the Gator program.
Coach Sale came to play off game and did his home visit in Virginia on December 2nd. On December 3rd we drove from Va to Florida. Fletcher drove himself 950 miles solo. On December 7th, Coach Sale and Stapleton visited us in St Petersburg where they helped us bring in delivery boxes and then we explored St Pete and hit a new sushi fusion place for lunch. Yesterday Coach Napier and Stapleton arrived together. We just hung out at our new place and talked.
