LOOK: Alabama, Florida go in-home on same day with elite WR Jacob Copeland

Published:
Highly-touted, four-star wide receiver Jacob Copeland still has a ton of interest from some of the SEC’s most traditionally elite programs.
With offers on the table from Alabama, Florida and Tennessee — not to mention over a couple dozen others — it is clear that Copeland is highly desired.
Copeland is rated as the nation’s No. 9 overall receiver in the class of 2018 and is the 10th-best prospect in the state of Florida, according to the 247Sports Composite.
On Thursday, he tweeted out separate photos of him with assistant coaches from both Florida and Alabama, which are projected by 247Sports to be the most likely destinations for him.
It seems Copeland’s in-home visit schedule lately has been jam-packed:

Tennessee also appears to be heavily in the mix for Copeland’s services. He visited in his home with the Volunteers last Friday, and is taking an official visit to Knoxville this weekend.
