Florida Gators targets of note in the initial 2026 On300
The initial 2026 On300 is out and as you’d expect, there are plenty of known Florida Gators targets on the list.
These young prospects have impressed the On3 rankings team, but it’s early — real early — in their respective careers.
As Charles Power, Dir. of Scouting and Rankings for On3 noted, “We’re about two years out from the final rankings for the 2026 cycle. The most important football has yet to be played. Prospects are at different stages in their physical development at this early juncture. Ages of top prospects in the 2025 cycle range from 15 to 17 years old. Naturally, many prospects will look quite different physically over the course of the next year. The off-season prior to the junior year is generally when we see the biggest jump among prospects, especially those who were not early developers.”
Here is the complete On300.
Now, here are some Florida targets of note who made it:
No. 14: QB Dia Bell, Plantation (Fla.) American Heritage: Bell camped with the Florida Gators last summer and returned to Gainesville for a game. His dad played in the NBA and his aunt played basketball at Florida. LSU and Miami are schools to watch, but look for Bell to visit the Gators again. He’s one of three or four QBs in the 2026 class Florida seems to really like.
No. 27: S Kaiden Hall, Milton (Fla.): Florida is the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine favorite and for good reason; Hall is extremely high on the Gators. Look for him to visit them again soon.
No. 103: LB Adam Balogoun-Ali, Palm Beach (Fla.) Benjamin: Last year, Balogoun-Ali attended the Florida-Florida State game at The Swamp — and he loved it. Return trips to Gainesville are likely. His coach is former Gators QB Eric Kresser.
No. 106: QB Will Griffin, Tampa (Fla.) Jesuit: The Gators lead for the 4-star recruit in the On3 RPM. He grew up a big Florida fan but now is taking a business-like approach with regard to his recruitment. That said, we believe the Gators are a big factor here. Griffin, who is coming off a strong junior season, has offers from many of the country’s most well-known schools.
No. 167: OL G’Nivre Carr, Bradenton (Fla.) IMG Academy: Carr is a native of Ocala who thinks highly of the Gators. Florida offensive line coach Rob Sale has made a great impression thus far on one of the Sunshine State’s top young offensive linemen.
No. 176: OL Breck Kolojay, Bradenton (Fla.) IMG Academy: Florida offered Kolojay earlier this year, but the 2026 interior offensive lineman said three weeks ago the Gators already are a team to watch. “They’re gonna be a factor,” he told Gators Online. He has visited the Gators twice already and could return to Gainesville this spring.
No. 182: OL Chancellor Barclay, Lake Minneola (Fla.): Florida very well might be THE team to watch early in this recruitment.
No. 195: OT Micah Smith, Vero Beach (Fla.): Florida State, Georgia and Ohio State are three schools he likexs a lot, but Smith also has talked up the Gators. After visiting them in January, Smith told Gators Online that Florida was “up there right now.”
No. 219: QB Noah Grubbs, Lake Mary (Fla.): The Gators offered Grubbs earlier this year and he has emerged as one of their top 2026 targets at quarterback. He’ll return to Gainesville on April 2-3. Grubbs has several notable suitors with Auburn, Miami, Michigan and Notre Dame being among them.
