The University of Florida’s 2025 recruiting class has seen significant momentum, currently ranked No. 12 nationally by 247Sports. The Gators have secured commitments from top talents, including five-star wide receiver Vernell Brown III and four-star cornerback Ben Hanks Jr., both legacy players whose fathers previously played for UF.
Despite these successes, the class has notable gaps, particularly along the offensive and defensive lines, with only one current commit in these critical areas. Addressing these deficiencies is a priority as the Gators aim to bolster their roster depth.
In recent weeks, Florida has intensified its recruiting efforts, flipping several prospects from rival programs. Notably, four-star running back Byron Louis and four-star quarterback Tramell Jones Jr. decommitted from Florida State to join the Gators. Additionally, three-star offensive tackle Jahari Medlock switched his commitment from Cincinnati to Florida, addressing needs on the offensive line.Looking ahead, the Gators are targeting key prospects to further strengthen their 2025 class. Four-star safety Hylton Stubbs, currently committed to Miami, has been trending towards Florida, according to 247Sports Crystal Ball predictions. The Gators are also pursuing Tennessee cornerback commit Onis Konanbanny and Top247 safety Lagonza Hayward, who recently decommitted from Tennessee. As the offseason progresses, Florida’s coaching staff remains focused on filling remaining roster gaps through high school recruiting and potential transfers from the spring portal, aiming to assemble a well-rounded and competitive team for the future.
