The Florida Gators continue to search for a running back in the 2020 class, and also have a handful of options at their disposal. One of the popular names in regards to Florida Gators recruiting this cycle has been Dallas (TX) Jesuit four-star running back EJ Smith.

Smith visited Florida for a game last season, and will be making a return yet again this season, this time for an official visit. The four-star has informed Swamp247 that he will be in Gainesville the weekend of October 5, when the Gators host the Auburn Tigers. This match up will also be the Gators homecoming game as well.

The Gators extended an offer to the 5-foot-11, 198-pounder shortly after the arrival of Dan Mullen to Gainesville as head coach . Since then he's continues to communicate with a handful of coaches.

“I talk to Coach [Greg] Knox, Coach [Billy] Gonzales, and Coach Mullen," Smith told 247Sports' Luke Stampini earlier this month at The Opening finals. "They’re telling me to keep on working, they love my versatility, and they just want to see me doing what I’m doing.”

While in The Swamp yet again, the legacy back will look to get a better feel for the people around and in the program.

“I just want to spent time with the coaches a little bit, the players, just see how their offense is in person, and getting used to the campus.”

Going forward Smith plans to make his decision closer to December before the Early Signing Period. His current top five includes Florida, Georgia, A&M, Ohio State, and Stanford. The Cardinal currently hold 50-percent of the predictions on the 247Sports Crystal Ball. The other 50-percent point to foggy.

The 247Sports Composite, an industry generated average, currently ranks Smith as the Nation's No. 126 overall prospect in the 2020 recruiting class.
