Breaking down Florida football’s 2025 recruiting class so far and potential targets

Florida football has landed six commitments so far for its 2025 recruiting class.

The Florida Gators held their annual Friday Night Lights recruiting event at The Swamp last Friday, inviting 19 schools from within the state and South Georgia to complete in a 7-on-7 football tournament.

The 19 schools competing included:

– Tallahassee (Florida) Rickards

– Kingston (Georgia) Camden County

– Zephyrhills (Florida)

– Pompano Beach (Florida) Monarch

– St. Augustine (Florida)

– Vero Beach (Florida)

– Jacksonville (Florida) Bertram Trail

– Orlando (Florida) Jones

– Miami (Florida) Norland

– Miami (Florida) Booker T. Washington

– Haines City (Florida)

– Quitman (Georgia) Brooks County

– Ocala (Florida) Vanguard

– Daytona Beach (Florida) Mainland

– Hollywood (Florida) Miramar

– Valdosta (Georgia)

– Panama City (Florida) Bay

– Lake Worth (Florida) Santaluces Community

– Lake Wales (Florida)

Whether the new approach to Friday Night Lights will pay dividends remains to be seen. For now, though, Florida has work to do to grow its class into one that will help UF vault into contention for an SEC title. UF’s class currently ranks 69th nationally, per 247 sports, with two four-star and four three-star recruits.

Here’s a look at UF’s commitments so far for 2025:
