ORLANDO, FL - A Bounce House Weekend "Boom!" for Gus Malzahn and the UCF program as the Knights land the commitment of Wiregrass Ranch (Tampa, Fla) 3 Star offensive lineman Gavin Blanchard. He made a few visits to Orlando, including during the Spring Game where he spent a long time talking to Malzahn and the coaching staff. That visit was very important for Blanchard, and he planned to make his official visit for Bounce House Weekend very quickly after. Following his visit Blanchard told media that he had been planning to commit to the Knights for a while, and that this weekend felt like the perfect time to announce. Blanchard will primarily play at left guard for the Knights, but has the versatility to play on the right and at center at the next level as well. He has transferred to Wiregrass Ranch from Jesuit this Spring, but as a junior he helped the Tigers make the regional finals of Florida's 3M playoffs, working primarily at right tackle, while also slotting in as a guard on both sides.
