Gators commits and key targets in updated 2025 On300

The updated On300 football prospect rankings were released Monday and they include a couple Florida commits and multiple Gators targets.

Here’s a look at where things stand …

*Note, the evaluations of junior season game film were heavily factored into these rankings. FULL RANKINGS HERE.

The Florida Gators have 2 commits in the updated On300

*Jalen Wiggins, Edge/DL, Tallahassee (Fla.) Rickards
-NEW ON3 RANKING: 88
-PREVIOUS ON3 RANKING: 88
-411: Wiggins, who committed to the Gators in January, had a good showing at the recent Under Armour Orlando camp and is coming off a solid 2023 season.

* Peyton Joseph, IOL, Warner Robins (Ga.) Houston County
-NEW ON3 RANKING: 225
-PREVIOUS ON3 RANKING: 206
-411: Joseph missed several games last season after he transferred to Houston County and skipped the Under Armour Atlanta camp. He might need a strong season to stay in the On300.

*Waltez Clark, RB, Tampa (Fla.) Plant
-NEW ON3 RANKING: Fell out of On300
-PREVIOUS ON3 RANKING: 168
-411: While Clark had his moments last season and played both ways when healthy, he missed multiple games with injuries. He will compete in the Under Armour Miami camp Sunday and we think his quickness and one-cut ability could impress observers.

Some other UF targets of note in the On300

-No. 2: Elijah Griffin, DL, Savannah Christian Prep (Ga.): The 5-star defender visited the Gators in January and they potentially could get an official visit. Georgia, though, is the heavy favorite.
-No. 4: DJ Pickett, CB/WR, Zephyrhills (Fla.): Florida wasn’t in his most recent top 5 and many believe Pickett could end up out of state. But the Gators will keep trying to chip away.
-No. 20: Caleb Cunningham, WR, Ackerman (Miss.) Choctaw County: Cunningham already has visited Florida three times. And, the Gators are going to get him on campus at least twice more. He’ll be there again April 13 for the spring game, then plans to give Florida an official.
-No. 23: Michael Fasusi, OT, Lewisville (Texas): Right now, the Gators are on the outside looking in but Fasusi told Gators Online last week it’s possible Florida could get an official visit.
-No. 78: Tarvos Alford, LB, Vero Beach: He will announce his commitment March 30 and Ohio State seems to be trending.
-No. 89: Max Buchanan, IOL, Sanford (Fla.) Seminole: Buchanan has scheduled officials to Florida, Clemson and UCF.
-No. 111: Vernell Brown III, WR, Orlando (Fla.) Jones: Jones recently announced Alabama, Clemson, Florida, Florida State, Louisville, Miami, Ohio State, Stanford, Syracuse, Tennessee and UCF as his finalists. He hopes to commit before his senior season.
-No. 112: Hylton Stubbs, S, Jacksonville (Fla.) Mandarin: Stubbs has set official visits to Southern California (May 30), Florida (June 7), Florida State (June 14) and Miami (June 21) but the Gators are the clear favorites.

Multiple Florida Gators legacies are in the On300

-No. 299: Ryan Montgomery, QB, Findlay (Ohio): This is looking like a Florida-South Carolina battle with a decision nearing.
