The 2023 college football recruiting cycle is nearing its end, and the Florida Gators are in a strong position to sign a top-10 class. According to the latest 247Sports recruiting rankings, Florida is currently ranked No. 8 in the country, with a class that includes 22 four-star prospects and one five-star prospect.
Florida’s recruiting class is well-rounded, with strong commitments at every position. The Gators have commitments from 10 offensive players, 11 defensive players, and one specialist.
- Quarterback: 1 five-star
- Running back: 3 four-stars
- Wide receiver: 4 four-stars
- Tight end: 2 four-stars
- Offensive line: 3 four-stars
- Defensive line: 3 four-stars
- Linebacker: 4 four-stars
- Cornerback: 3 four-stars
- Safety: 1 four-star
- Specialist: 1 four-star
Florida’s strong recruiting class is expected to have a major impact on the team in the coming years. The Gators have lost a number of key players to the NFL Draft in recent years, so these new recruits will be needed to fill some big holes.
Rashada is expected to be the Gators’ starting quarterback next season, and he has the potential to be a star. Etienne and Wilson are both expected to contribute immediately on offense, and James is a highly-touted linebacker who could start as a true freshman.
Florida’s No. 8 ranking in the 247Sports recruiting rankings is impressive, but it is still behind some of the other top programs in the country. Alabama, Georgia, and Ohio State are all ranked ahead of Florida, and these programs are all expected to compete for the national championship next season.
However, Florida is ahead of some other major programs, such as Texas A&M, Michigan, and Penn State. The Gators are also in good position to improve their ranking in the final 247Sports recruiting rankings, as they are still in the running for several top recruits.
Florida’s 2023 recruiting class is one of the best in the country. The Gators have commitments from a number of talented players who could make an immediate impact on the team. If Florida can continue to add top recruits, they could be a contender for the national championship in the coming years.
