Florida's five-star offensive line commit, Maxwell Hiller, visited the Swamp this past weekend while being joined by his younger brother, Colton Hiller.
Though Maxwell was on his visit, he spent most of it with his younger brother.
“He seems to really like it," Hiller told Swamp247 of his younger brother. "I think it'll come down to Duke and Florida, which are his two official visits, so I think we definitely have a true shot."
The 6-foot-5-inch, 300-pound interior offensive lineman got to experience what a basketball official visit is like by spending it with his brother.
"It was kind of similar," Hiller stated about the difference between a football and a basketball official visit. "It was definitely cool seeing a different side of it, obviously
football and basketball. Coach Todd Golden, he's really cool. I love him. I would trust my brother in his hands."
Even though Hiller's time in Gainesville was spent around his younger brother, he was still there for his own visit.
While in his recruiting process, offensive line coach Phil Trautwein has been a critical figure to Hiller and the two were able to catch up during the weekend.
Hiller spoke on what the dynamic was like between him and Trautwein during the visit.
"This time it was more just get ready to come in and play," Hiller said. "Not really on a recruiting side, it's more like a get-ready side."
He also raved about Florida's performance on the offensive side of the ball, in their victory over FAU.
"That's amazing," Hiller said. "You can't be mad at that. That's really the best thing you can do. I'm impressed."
Florida has plenty working in its favor with Hiller, including his brother's positive experience at Saturday night's game.
