Class of 2026 @ Fort Myers | Fort Myers, FL
"The experience for my family was great. They had a good time overall, especially my mom and dad being up there for the first time. They got to see everything and gather as much information as they needed."
"It was nice seeing everyone commit. If anything, I'm proud of them. They definitely deserve that moment for themselves."
"It was great being around Caleb Banks. He gave me a lot of lessons and advice, especially from his standpoint, and things I could take with me for the long run."
"Meeting with coach Napier went great. It was good to be back in Swamp and see him again. We had a great conversation about me becoming a Gator and what I'll be able to do for the line. Other than that, it was great being able to hang out and see Coach Billy again."

James Johnson 2026 Defensive Tackle
Class of 2026 @ Northwestern | Miami, FL
Q: It was a massive weekend for the Gators - what was the experience like for you and your Mom, Brother, and both Cousins this weekend?
"Every time we visit UF, it’s always such a pleasant experience—they treat us like family, and we really love that. Usually, my mom and brother are with me on these visits, but this time, my Auntie Terry and my cousin TJ came along for their first visit, and they loved it just as much as we do. It was great to share the experience with them and see how much they enjoyed everything."
Q: How excited were you to see the Gators pick up a couple more verbal commitments? What was that vibe like?
"I was really happy for everyone who decided to commit this weekend. You could feel the energy in the air—it was exciting to see the joy on everyone’s faces. The vibe was electric, and it definitely added to the momentum and positive energy around the program."
Q: Talk about your time spent with Jeramiah McCloud and Jimmy Cino.
"Spending time with Jeremiah honestly felt like being with a brother. We vibed so well and had a lot of fun together. I really appreciated him taking the time to hang out and connect. Jimmy was awesome, too—he was incredibly patient with my family and very attentive to all of our needs. It made a big difference in the overall experience."
Q: How did your meeting with Coach Napier go on Saturday and Coach Chatman?
"My meeting with Coach Napier went great. He took the time to clear up a few questions I had about my position and about a newly committed player on the defensive line, which I appreciated. My conversation with Coach Chatman, as always, really put things into perspective for me. I love how he reassures me that he truly wants to coach me and believes in my potential to play in the NFL one day. That kind of belief means a lot."

LIVE RECRUITING UPDATE: Happy Father's Day (8:15 a.m.)
Message from McCoy this morning:
"I feel amazing. I have never felt so comfortable at a school until I came here. I would not want to be anywhere but here."
Head Coach Billy Napier & The Florida Gators are putting the finishing touches on what has been an incredible official visiting recruiting weekend!
Currently, the recruits and their families are receiving 8:00 a.m. wake-up calls. They will have about an hour to get ready to leave for this morning's breakfast, which will be the same as last week - Stoke Barn and Kitchen. Breakfast will run for about an hour or a little longer. Coach Napier will ride with Chris Booker and eat with Claude Mpouma, concluding his one-on-one time with each of the recruits during the weekend visits. Around 10:30 a.m., they will head back over to The Heavener Training Facility.
Coach Napier will start his One-on-One meetings around 11 a.m. First up is Trenton Henderson. It will take Coach Napier roughly four hours straight through meeting with nine recruits today. Henderson, Izayia Williams, Malik Morris, Claude Mpouma, Chris Booker, Desmond Green, Tyler Chukuyem, Will Griffin, and the last meeting of the day should go to DL Kendall Guervil, who the Gators made a serious pitch to this weekend. The first recruit will leave UF today at 1:00 p.m., and the last will head out around 3:30 p.m.
I will have feedback from the recruits later today and throughout the next 36 hours. My youngest turns 18 on Monday, and for his birthday, he wanted to spend a few days with his oldest brother in Charlotte. My family left on Thursday, and I will head out around 9 a.m. today to meet them, so you all know what that means.
The next verbal I expect will be tomorrow, but we all know how these things go when I leave the house. Coach Napier and the Gators are making the most of these official visits, so you never know. I hope all of you dads have a wonderful day today and can spend quality one-on-one time with your loved ones! Thank you all for being part of this community that we have created. I have always said this, and it remains true: this place is what it is because of the members.
Next Friday, Florida will have FNL, followed by the BBQ on Saturday. I will arrive in Gainesville on Wednesday and depart back to Atlanta on Saturday. I hope to see you all next week! If you'd like to get together, please reply to this thread, and I can meet on Wednesday or Thursday for lunch or dinner. See you soon!
LIVE RECRUITING UPDATES: July 14th (Afternoon Sessions)
3:45 PM Update:
As I wrote early this morning, Head Coach Billy Napier is in the middle of his Saturday One-on-One meetings with the following players: James Johnson, Marquez Daniel, Davian Groce, Kaiden Prothro, and Carson Sneed. Those meetings start around 3 PM and will run for roughly two hours. This will cut into some of the free time for anyone scheduled after 4 PM, but they have up until 7:15 PM before they head over to Spurrier's for dinner and then out with the player hosts, which I already listed in a previous update.
Sunday has a bright and early start time because it will be a hectic day, beginning with an 8 AM wake-up call, followed by breakfast at 9 AM, and then returning to the Heavener Center. Schedules on Sunday vary based on departure and meeting times with Coach Napier. All visitors are scheduled to leave between 1:00 and 3:30 PM on Sunday. Then, it will be time to track down the Official Visitors to see how they felt the weekend went. As always, it will take a couple of days to update all of that. I will continue to add quotes to our Live Recruiting Thread, just as I did last week, to make it easy and all in one place. This is the last big OV weekend, and I hope you all enjoyed the behind-the-scenes look at the OV weekends.

Good Morning to everyone on this fine Saturday! Today, I want to give you insight into what the day will look like for the recruits and their families.
The recruits will receive a wake-up call around 8:00 am this Morning. At 8:45, they will head out to Breakfast with the Gators at Cade Museum. It will be a nice, long breakfast lasting until around 10:15 am, and then they will transition to Academics. After this, they will visit the Heavener Football Training facility.
Around 11:15 am, they will visit the Weight Room and Pritchett Room, concluding with a highlight video just before noon before heading out for the group rotations. The Heart & Soul during the Official Visits is the group rotation and coaches' meetings on Saturday. There is a five-hour window that covers Group Rotations, Lunch, and Free Time, which coincides with Coach Napier's one-on-one meetings with five recruits today, as listed yesterday: James Johnson, Marquez Daniel, Davian Groce, Kaiden Prothro, and Carson Sneed.
Speaking of Coach Napier, he will drive Kendall Guervil to Breakfast, eat with Malik Morris and his family, drive Desmond Green to the business center, spend one-on-one time with Davian Groce in the weight room, and later drive Trenton Henderson to dinner and eat with Kendall Guervil. Each recruit and their family get personal one-on-one time throughout the weekend's visit.
Back to the Group Rotations for a moment. The Blue Crew will be Kendall Guervil, James Johnson, Trenton Henderson, Izayia Williams, Malik Morris, Kaiden Prothro, and Carson Sneed.
