Plant tight end Orson Charles paid an unofficial visit to the University of Florida on Friday and picked up an official offer.

The Gators joined a growing list of Division I schools offering Charles a scholarship. The others include Florida State, USF and Auburn.

Charles visited the Florida campus, along with Panthers quarterback Aaron Murray, Murray’s parents, linebacker Hunter Baldwin and Coach Robert Weiner. The group sat in on football meetings, attended practice and toured the academic facilities.

They got an up close look at campus life when they attended a chemistry class with Tebow. The tour also included lunch and dinner with Gators coach Urban Meyer and Tebow.
