3-star St. Louis DL Tyler Gant set another round of B1G visits
St. Louis (Mo.) Christian Brothers College defensive lineman Tyler Gant is set for a busy weekend.
Gant has drawn offers from across the Midwest and Southeast. He said in mid-February he was hoping to see Michigan and Northwestern in March. He said he was also hoping to visit Arkansas, Illinois, Colorado, Vanderbilt and West Virginia in the month of April.
Now we know for sure where he’ll be this weekend.
Gant tweeted Thursday he’ll be at Northwestern on Saturday and then at Michigan on Sunday for visits.
The 6-foot-3, 262-pounder is the No. 474 prospect in the 2023 class, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He ranks as the nation’s No. 57 defensive lineman and the No. 13 junior prospect in Missouri.
Everybody on his spring visit list, other than Michigan, has offered him a scholarship.
Tyler Gant busy with visits
Last week Gant was at Iowa and Wisconsin. He gushed about both his trips to reporters and on social media. The visits to Iowa City and Madison were his third visits to both schools.
He was especially high on his trip to Iowa City.
“I had a great visit,” Gant told HawkeyeReport.com. “We got to do a photoshoot and then we ate lunch with the coaches. After lunch, we took a facility tour and after that, I had a one-on-one talk with the head coach.
“This visit stood out because this time I got to ask questions to a player panel, which was good to see their perspective on Iowa football.”
He also was positive about his trip to Madison, calling the visit “dope” and giving high marks to the weight room, photoshoot and time with the coaching staff.
