Florida Gators Secure Top-10 Recruiting Class Following Late-Season Turnaround

After a three-game winning streak and strong recruiting efforts, Florida's 2025 class climbs from No. 45 to No. 10 in national rankings.

The Florida Gators' 2025 recruiting class is ranked 10th nationally, marking a significant rise from 45th just three weeks ago.
Coach Billy Napier's job security improved as the Gators closed the season with key wins over LSU, Ole Miss, and Florida State to finish 7-5 and bowl eligible.
Top recruits include wide receiver Vernell Brown III, the class's highest-rated player, and cornerback Ben Hanks Jr., both legacy Gators with standout high school careers.
The class features 22 signees, including 10 four-star recruits, and spans several states, with a strong focus on in-state talent from Florida.
The recruiting surge highlights the importance of late-season momentum, with Napier emphasizing that winning games directly impacts the ability to attract top talent.
