Laremy Tunsil, arguably the top offensive-line recruit in the country, will take an unofficial visit to Gainesville this weekend according to a report by ESPN's Derek Tyson.
The visit is a bit of a surprise, given that he had recently named Georgia and Alabama as two teams out in front for his signature.
We'll see if Tunsil indeed makes the visit, as recruits often have transportation issues, and Tunsil was a no-show at Florida State's recent game against Clemson.
Out of Lake City (Fla.) Columbia High School, Tunsil has offers from every major program in the country.
At last check, his plan was to use his official visits to schools that are not within driving distance of his home. That means Florida, Florida State and perhaps Georgia and Alabama will receive unofficial visits, while LSU, USC and others will pick up the tab for his flight via an official visit.

Is star offensive tackle recruit Laremy Tunsil headed out of state? A recent video interview with ESPN seem to suggest so.
Out of Lake City (Fla.) Columbia High School, Tunsil is widely considered the top offensive tackle recruit in the country, holding more than 30 offers. But those schools closest to him, Florida and Florida State, aren't in his top group.
"Right now, I have a top two. I have Georgia and Alabama," Tunsil said in the interview below.
Later in the video, when asked about the Florida Gators, Tunsil reiterates that he has a top two, but acknowledges that the Gators are in this third spot.
Tunsil later goes on to say that he didn't answer any calls from coaches once the dead period on contact was lifted in early September.
Asked whether Florida State is in the mix, Tunsil said they were not, adding that he likes FSU offensive line coach Rick Trickett, but does not like Florida State's program.
Tunsil has previously said that he plans to make his decision closer to National Signing Day, as opposed to an early commitment, as many top recruits have done in the class of 2013.

Laremy Tunsil is 6'6, 280 pounds, and the best offensive tackle recruit in the country. Nobody is going to tell him that he cannot wear Winnie The Pooh socks. So on the final day of his trip to visit the Georgia Bulldogs, that is exactly what the Lake City (Fla.) Columbia High School recruit did.
#Gators top target, OT Laremy Tunsil, is at UGA camp today and @RadiNabulsi reports that he's wearing a Georgia hat & Winnie The Pooh socks.

Tunsil told ESPN that he enjoyed his visit to Georgia ($).
"It was pretty cool actually," Tunsil said. "It was nice. I got to Georgia at 8:30 on Thursday night and left around 4:00 today. I was shown the campus and that is what really stood out to me. I liked all of it. Georgia is not the same as the other schools. Everybody cares about you there and the facilities are really nice. I will say the best campuses I have seen so far are Alabama and Georgia."
Aside from Georgia, one of Tunsil's other presumed favorites are the Florida Gators. He'll visit Gainesville tomorrow.

Laremt Tunsil is the top offensive tackle recruit in the country. Out of Lake City (Fla.) Columbia High School, the 6'6", 280 pound Tunsil holds offers from most of the top schools. He's in no rush to make a decision, but did speak about some of the factors that will ultimately sway him in this excellent interview ($) with Florida Rivals site Inside The Gators.
One particular point that caught my eye was the discussion about his relationship with coaches:
"The relationship I have with the coaches is the most important thing," said Tunsil. "My position coach is who I am going to be with every day. I have to have a great relationship and be able to trust him.
...
Asked about the coaches he feels most comfortable with, Tunsil replied, "The two head coaches I have a relationship with are Nick Saban and Will Muschamp. They aren't personally recruiting me, but I can call them up and talk to them. I called coach Saban a couple of weeks ago to talk.
"Position coaches I have a good relationship with are Will Friend from Georgia, Tim Davis from Florida, Chris Kiffin from Ole Miss and especially Rick Trickett from Florida State."
Tunsil goes on to talk about a lot of different topics, and this is definitely worth a read. I hadn't heard Ole Miss mentioned by Tunsil all that much, so that is a new development indeed. Many continue to believe that Florida and Georgia are the top two schools competing for his services. This belief is supported by the frequency with which Tunsil mentions the Bulldogs and Gators in his talks with the media.
