Gator's 2024-25 Recruiting / Portal

[instaGATOR]

Seems like the time to open a new page with the regular season over, early signing day approaching, with the portal opening shortly after that.
Here's a pretty good start for this thread imo....

Florida Flips Five-Star Safety from Miami​

Jacksonville's Hylton Stubbs 6-2 195 joins the Gators' high-rising 2025 recruiting class in a sudden move. As for the on-field production for Stubbs, he looks to be someone who can defend the pass and stop the run, according to 247Sports Director of Scouting Andrew Ivins.

With Mandarin this season, Stubbs has recorded 54 total tackles (39 solo), eight tackles-for-loss, two interceptions, four pass deflections and three forced fumbles. Stubbs' high school highlights can be viewed here.

Agree. But we'll still need to add some key experienced players from the portal, IMO. It's pretty impressive that our recruiiting ranking gone from something like #60 to #11 over the last few weeks. Shows what winning does for a program. Although the ranking is back up with the big boys in the SEC, there are still 7 SEC schools ahead of us. Hopefully, we can jump up a few slots, especially getting quality players at positions where we have a need.
