The Florida Gators got some good news on Monday when the updated 2026 Rivals300 rankings were released. Florida is building one of the nation’s top recruiting classes and the newest update reflects that.

A total of 11 current commits made the list, showing how strong the class is coming together. The latest updates are below, highlighting each Gators commit and where they rank nationally.

Florida Gators commits in Rivals300 rankings

No. 54: WR Davian Groce, Frisco (Texas) Lone Star: Versatile offensive playmaker the Gators beat out Oklahoma for over the summer. His overall ranking did not change.

No. 82: OT Tyler Chukuyem, Douglasville (Ga.) South Paulding: This is one of Florida’s five offensive line commits. Chukuyem is brimming with upside and climbed six spots on Monday.

No. 133: RB Carsyn Baker, Fairburn (Ga.) Langston Hughes: This is one of the top big-play running backs in the Southeast. Baker has a good blend of size and speed. His overall ranking did not change.

No. 136: CB CJ Bronaugh, Windemere (Fla.) High: Bronaugh is a state champion in the 100M who is known for his ability to create turnovers. He flipped from Nebraska over the summer and his overall ranking did not change.

No. 144: EDGE Kevin Ford, Duncanville (Texas) High: There are not many better pass rushers in the class than Ford. He committed to Florida over Alabama and climbed 90 spots in the latest rankings release.

No. 160: WR Justin Williams, Gainesville (Fla.) Buchholz: Despite moving back 12 spots, Williams is versatile as they come with the ability to play wide receiver or running back at a high level.

No. 168: DL Kendall Guervil, Fort Myers (Fla.) High: Guervil is out for all of his senior season due to injury but still one of the more important Gators commits. He moved back 53 spots.

No. 202: S Kaiden Hall, Milton (Fla.) High: This is a physical safety who could eventually transition to linebacker. Florida beat out Alabama for Hall’s commitment. His overall ranking did not change.

No. 233: WR Marquez Daniel, Tuskegee (Ala.) Booker T. Washington: A jump-ball threat at 6-foot-5, Daniel wins in contested situations and fits Florida’s big receiver mold. He moved back 26 spots.

No. 289: DL JaReylan McCoy, Tupelo (Miss.) High: Staying put at No. 289, McCoy is a versatile prospect with a long frame and violent hands.

No. 299: OT Heze Kent, Brunswick (Ga.) High: At 300-plus pounds, Kent likely projects best at offensive tackle but is being recruited as a tight end. He moved back 66 spots in Monday’s rankings update.

Notable Florida targets in the Rivals300

No. 16: DL James Johnson, Miami Northwestern (Texas commit): Florida and Miami are among those still pushing hard for the 5-star Longhorns commit, although UM seems to be in a better spot than Florida.

No. 36: S Bralan Womack, Brandon (Miss.) Hartfield Academy (Auburn commit): This is one of Florida’s top targets on defense. The Gators were a finalist before Womack committed to the Tigers and are hoping to get him back on campus.

No. 65: S Devin Jackson, Orlando (Fla.) The First Academy (Oregon commit): Jackson is a former Florida commit who still has an official visit available; however, he recently said his recruitment is shut down.

No. 77: EDGE Trenton Henderson, Pensacola (Fla.) Catholic (LSU commit): The Gators fell just short against LSU for Henderson’s commitment. And after attending their game on Saturday, UF’s chances of flipping him seem to have decreased even more.

No. 174: EDGE Jake Kreul, Bradenton (Fla.) IMG Academy (Oklahoma commit): Kreul loved Florida as a kid and his father graduated from there, but the Gators previously fell short of making his top three.

No. 204: EDGE Asharri Charles, Venice (Fla.) High (Miami commit): This is viewed as a long shot, but Florida sent Charles an official scholarship offer and would like to host him for a game.
