This past week in New Hampshire, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump showed off his Bull pride by holding up a USF T-shirt with a group of University of South Florida St. Pete students.

By Friday, Trump will be speaking to students and thousands of others at USF in Tampa when he holds a rally at the Sun Dome.

Tickets for the rally are still available. Student Richie Marini went online to get one.

"I want to see how he does with college age students," Marini said.

USF Professor Judith Ann McLauchlan is not surprised voters want to attend Trump's rally.

"It's not surprising that folks in our area who haven't got to see him yet are eager to start sizing him up and see what he's really like in person," McLauchlan said.

This will be Trump's first visit to Tampa as a presidential candidate. He visited Sarasota in November.

Doors to the rally open at 5 p.m. Friday. The event starts at 7 p.m.
