4-star OT William Barnes: Florida visit ‘great,’ 3 SEC schools among contenders

Four-star offensive tackle William Barnes is in the process of visiting schools and narrowing down his options, a list that includes three SEC powers.

“I’m enjoying the recruiting process pretty well,” Barnes told GN. “Going around checking out these schools with my family. I’ve checked out Florida, Florida State, North Carolina, Auburn, Ohio State and LSU.

“I’m not saying those schools are my favorites, but those are some of the schools I’m looking at right now.”

Barnes (6 feet 4, 290), from Apopka (Fla.) High, is among the top-10 offensive tackle prospects and a top-100 prospect overall in the class of 2018.
