The Florida Gators’ future players are making headlines this high school football season, and last week was nothing short of fantastic for many of their recruits. Here’s a look at how these potential Gators impressed on the field.
2025 Commits:
- Vernell Brown III (4-star WR) led Jones to a thrilling 28-21 win over Evans, moving to 2-0 on the season. Despite constant double teams, Brown managed 14 catches for 144 yards and a touchdown. With 244 yards and three touchdowns already, he’s unstoppable.
- Jalen Wiggins (4-star Edge) continues to make his presence felt at James Rickards, despite their first loss. In just two games, Wiggins has 15 tackles, 1 sack, and a fumble recovery.
- Ben Hanks Jr. (4-star CB) showcased his versatility, making several tackles on defense and catching a touchdown in Booker T. Washington’s matchup against Central.
- Waltez Clark (4-star RB) didn’t suit up last week, but his 204 rushing yards and four total touchdowns in two games have been nothing short of spectacular.
- Myles Johnson (4-star LB) helped Brewton T.R. Miller dominate with a 50-0 win to remain undefeated, barely breaking a sweat in this lopsided game.
- Demetres Samuel Jr. (4-star S) and Palm Bay Heritage dropped their second straight, but Samuel continues to be a key player for his team.
- Joshua Moore (3-star WR) delivered a highlight-reel performance with seven catches for 176 yards and a touchdown in West Broward’s close loss. His second straight 100+ yard game is proving he’s one to watch.

- Micah Jones (3-star TE) had a quiet game in Madison Central’s loss but continues to be a reliable target for his team.
- Chad Gasper (3-star RB) hasn’t recorded any stats yet, but Fulshear Katy Jordan’s 2-0 start bodes well for future performances.
- Jeramiah McCloud (3-star DL) had a week off, but his three-game stat line—21 tackles, 1 sack, and a pick-six—proves he’s a game-changer.
- Joseph Mbatchou (3-star DL) helped Grayson notch their third straight win without recording individual stats.
- Hayden Craig (3-star P) had a standout game as Bridgton Academy kicked off their season with a 34-7 win.
2026 Commits:
- Will Griffin (4-star QB) threw two touchdowns in a tough loss for Tampa Jesuit, but his 566 passing yards this season show he’s got what it takes to lead.
- Jaelen Waters (4-star CB) contributed three tackles as Seffner Armwood remained unbeaten at 3-0.
- Devin Jackson (3-star S) had another strong game with six tackles and a fumble recovery, continuing his stellar season for Orlando First Academy.
