Billy Napier’s staff is red hot on the recruiting trail right now, and moments ago, they made another splash by reeling in four-star wide receiver Andy Jean.

Jean, a former Miami commit in the 2023 class, named Florida his leader shortly after last month’s official visit. He actually released a top five weeks later, but Florida continued to trend behind the scenes and ultimately sealed the deal this afternoon.

Several weeks ago, I submitted an On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine pick for the Gators as well.

Jean was present for Friday Night Lights and attended today’s recruiting cookout as well, simply finding no reason to wait any longer.

In addition to Florida, Jean possesses offers from Alabama, Georgia, Texas A&M, Miami, Florida State, LSU and Michigan among many others.

“Florida’s a place that’s building,” Jean previously told GO. “I want to go to a school that’s building, not a school already just has it all, you feel me? I want to help build and become a legend wherever I go.”

Personal relationships separated the Gators for Jean

A flurry of UF staff members are linked to Jean’s recruitment; however, it’s Billy Napier’s personal involvement that highlights the bond between both parties.

UF’s head man rarely left Jean’s side during the official visit and believes the 2023 prospect could make a major impact on his program.

“I was hanging out with coach Napier today ‘cause I’ve been with him every time I’ve gone out to eat. I was sitting with him, so that showed me I’m really a priority to him with all his focus on me,” Jean said after his official visit.

“No selfish stuff, but he showed me, like, he really wants me at his school. I could make a big impact to the school for sure.”

In addition to his official visit, Jean has set foot in the Swamp on four other occasions. By doing that, he has been able to construct a tight-knit relationship with Keary Colbert as well.

“I sat down, he showed me the things he do, how my game play will fit into the offense, and he showed me how, like, I can be a big priority, impact to this school for sure,” Jean said last month.

“The things he showed me were really different because the same thing, the route running they do, and the offense they run. It’s the same thing at my school, so me, if I do come to Florida, I’ll be already, you feel me? Hands on, already sculptured to rock out for sure.”

According to On3’s 2023 rankings, Jean ranks as the No. 25 wide receiver and No. 170 player overall. He boasts a 3.5 GPA in the classroom as well.
