4-star 2018 offensive tackle Richard Gouraige from Tampa Bay, Florida (Cambridge HS) announced his top two schools on Monday night with Clemson and Florida making the cut according to his Twitter account.

"First, I want to thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for blessing me with this sport," Gouraige posted. "I want to thank my family for supporting me with every decision throughout this process. I want to talk my coaches for molding me into the player I am today and helping with this recruiting process. I want to thank all the programs for giving me the opportunity to play for them. After praying and patiently waiting, I'm releasing my top two schools. Clemson and Florida."

Gouraige is a versatile athlete for Cambridge as he gets reps at defensive line and offensive tackle. He has a massive frame with long arms that will help him transition to the college level.

He has national offers including Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, Florida, Florida State, Florida Atlantic, Florida International, Georgia, Iowa State, Kentucky, Louisville, Miami, Michigan, Middle Tennessee State, Michigan, Mississippi, Nebraska, North Carolina, North Carolina State, South Florida, and Tennessee. His first offer was from Kentucky.

His impressive display on the gridiron has put him on the Max-Prep All-American team the last two seasons.
