Junior Day Feedback: 1-25-25
James Johnson 2026 Defensive Tackle
“The experience today was welcoming, and it always has good vibes every time I go there. The first coach that greeted me was Coach Louis, and I was able to sit down in the position meeting and spend some time with the other Dlineman, but what was going through my head was that any of the recruits there could be my future teammates.”
Brody Jennings 2026 Safety Michigan
“It was an amazing experience; the first Coach to greet me was Will Harris; the vibe was a great vibe that I’ll always keep in mind; when I was visiting, I was thinking how much of a great environment it is and how genuine the staff is.”
Carter Luckie 2026 Strongside Defensive End
“Overall, It was a great visit. When I first arrived, Coach Patterson, Coach Chatman, and Coach Roberts met me. The energy was there with the coaching staff and the recruits that were here. To answer your last question, I was trying to see if I could see myself playing under the coaching staff that they have and if I could see myself enjoying the school without football involved. And overall, Florida is a place that I liked, and I’d love to make it down to a game this year to really get a feel for the atmosphere."
Javeion Cooper, 2026 Offensive Tackle Syracuse
“My experience today at UF was great, the first coach to greet me was Coach John D. We chatted up a little bit about things like that. The overall experience was great to me; one thing that stood out to me was how they help people with IEPs.”
Adam Balogoun Ali 2026 Outside Linebacker
I had a good experience at the junior day. As soon as I walked in, Coach Ron was there to greet me. It definitely showed an enhanced feel with the players; they seemed more in tune with the team’s identity, given the late success they began to have last season. The whole time, I was trying to see how I could help contribute to the team, and I definitely could see myself in their linebacker room making an impact. I’ll be back.”
