Not everyone who comes on an official visit comes with an offer in hand.  Has it been confirmed that he's been offered a scholarship?

I think this is more “Recruiting 101” from Coach Fran.
[LIST]
[*]Bring in the highly rated high school recruits (even if there’s a low chance of flipping said player) and plant seeds in case they ever want to hit the portal later.  
[LIST]
[*]KJ Bolden, committed to UGA.
[*]Koy Beasley, committed to Purdue.
[*]Josh Philostin, committed to Indiana. 
[/LIST]
[*]Do the same thing with the younger player in the portal.  You may not get them now, but hopefully we have planted seeds in case the players hit the portal again as a grad transfer. 
[*]Be good to coaches in your recruiting hotbeds and treat their kids well without compromising your integrity.  
[/LIST]

I can see this young man getting a PWO offer (with a strong financial aid package) because...
[LIST]
[*]He does have good measurables and could develop.
[*]We need more walk-ons; only 3 walk-on DBs, and 2 walk-on WRs.  
[*]Our scholarship numbers are tight, and I don't see him bumping any current scholarship player from the roster.   Although there is plenty of time between now and August.
