When the Florida Gators face the Miami Hurricanes, they will draw the interest of 5-star prospects who are currently committed to Auburn, Oregon, and LSU. As the Gators meet the Hurricanes at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium on Saturday, head coach Billy Napier will aim to flip these top-tier prospects. The game will not be the only challenge of the day; the Gators will also be competing for recruits, with around 60 players from the 2025 and 2026 classes anticipated to attend. This comprises 11 of Florida’s 2025 commitments and three from the 2026 class. Among the outstanding visitors are:
The game will not be the only challenge of the day; the Gators will also be competing for recruits, with around 60 players from the 2025 and 2026 classes anticipated to attend.
This comprises 11 of Florida’s 2025 commitments and three from the 2026 class. Among the outstanding visitors are:
- 2025 5-star database DJ Pickett (LSU Commitment). Pickett, one of the nation’s top cornerbacks, is an important target for Florida, despite his present commitment to LSU. His visit presents an important opportunity for the Gators, but the presence of his cousin, a Miami star, complicates his recruitment.
- 2025 5-Star WR Dallas Wilson (Oregon Commitment): Wilson, a highly ranked receiver from Tampa, is committed to Oregon, but Florida’s proximity and persistent recruiting attempts may cause him to reconsider. 2025 Five-Star DL Malik Autry (Auburn Commit): Despite his current commitment to Auburn, Autry remains a priority for the Gators, who have maintained in touch with him on a daily basis.
- 2026 4-Star Linebacker Izayia Williams: Williams, who recently decommitted from Syracuse, is a strong prospect for the Gators, who are expected to land his commitment. A solid showing versus Miami could influence his choice.
Florida’s 2025 recruiting class is presently ranked No. 19 nationally, with 14 commits, and the Gators hope to improve that number by perhaps flipping these major targets this weekend.
