Gators Land 12th Best Recruiting Class Despite Lower Volume
1 Feb
Summary
- Florida's 2026 recruiting class ranks 16th nationally by volume.
- The quality of Florida's 19 recruits is ranked 12th nationally.
- All 19 of Florida's committed recruits have signed their letters of intent.
As the early signing period has concluded, the final National Signing Day marks the last opportunity for Division I and II football recruits to commit. For the Florida Gators' 2026 class, all 19 of their signed recruits have officially turned their commitments into signings.
Nationally, the Gators' class is ranked 16th according to the 247Sports composite team rankings. This overall position is influenced by the volume of recruits signed, with some programs securing significantly more commitments. However, when evaluating the quality of these incoming athletes, Florida's class is notably ranked 12th.
This 12th-place ranking in recruit quality places the Gators ahead of several programs that may appear higher in the overall team rankings. The focus for many top programs, including Florida, has largely shifted to the transfer portal to fill any remaining roster needs.
