The athlete from Tampa Sumner High School has made several visits to Florida, indicating a keen interest in the university. He shared a video on Instagram of what the campus has to offer.

Reflecting on his interactions with the coaching staff, Addison had praise for co-offensive line coach John Decoster.
“Oh man, (co-offensive line) coach John (Decoster), he’s very detail-oriented. It shows that he was in the league for three years; not even just with power points, but even at practice, there were the small details where you think you did a good job," Addison told On3.
Addison also expressed admiration for co-offensive line coach Rob Sale's approach:
"He was with the Giants for a couple of years. They’re really building a semi-pro-style program. It’s really pro-prepping and getting you ready for the league.
Addison has visits lined up for Oregon on June 7th, Penn State on June 14th and Florida State on June 21st. He has already explored opportunities at UCLA and Georgia.
Per On3 Industry Ranking, Addison ranks as the nation's 179th overall prospect, the 15th offensive tackle, and the 26th recruit from Florida in 2025.
