Zipperer is the No. 4 tight end in the 2019 class per the 247sports composite rankings. He is also the No. 20 recruit from Florida.
247sports’ crystal ball predicts that Zipperer will choose either Florida or Miami, which would mean that he would stay close to home. However, Zipperer visited Alabama on Sept. 1., so perhaps the Crimson Tide are also a potential landing spot.
