Florida Bolsters 2026 Class Amid Recruiting Changes

Florida has continued to strengthen its 2026 football recruiting class with commitments from four-star safety Kaiden Hall, who chose the Gators over Alabama, Florida State, and Oklahoma, as well as standout IMG Academy offensive lineman G'Nivre Carr, who also considered Georgia and Alabama. Carr is now the third hard commit in the class alongside defensive lineman Jamir Perez and quarterback Will Griffin, reflecting head coach Billy Napier's focus on fortifying both lines. The Gators' efforts come amid some challenges, including the departure of defensive backs coach Will Harris to Miami and the resulting loss of commit Jaelen Waters. Florida remains a leading contender for highly sought-after recruits like Javarii Luckas. In regional recruiting news, Georgia Tech hosted top-150 recruit Dorian Barney for an official visit, while Florida State extended a scholarship offer to 2028 quarterback prospect Knox Annis as it seeks to bolster its future quarterback depth.
