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, Iowa, Wisconsin, 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 Monday night he’ll be at Iowa on Saturday and then at Wisconsin on Sunday for visits.

The 6-foot-3, 262-pounder is the No. 460 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. 53 defensive lineman and the No. 12 junior prospect in Missouri.

Everybody on his spring visit list, other than Michigan, has offered him a scholarship. The visits to Iowa City and Madison will be his second visit to both schools.
