As Jon Sumrall looks to round out the 2027 class, Florida football is hosting another group of prospects for official visits this weekend. The Gators have four spots available and are hoping to capture at least one more five-star commitment as the cycle draws to a close.
The most notable campus visit is flip target and No. 1 overall recruit Jalen Brewster, who will be making his third visit to Florida in the last several months. The 6-foot-3-inch, 302-pound, five-star defensive lineman committed to Texas Tech back in October, but opened the door for Sumrall and company with his continued engagement.
Rival national recruiting analyst Steve Wiltfong views Florida as the "biggest threat to the Red Raiders." Following his official visit to Texas, Wiltfong reported that Brewster's father said "everyone is equal," referring to the contenders in his son's recruitment. Tech will be Brewster's final official visit on June 19.
Another flip candidate for Florida is five-star wide receiver Easton Royal, who committed to Texas last November. The 5-foot-11-inch, 200-pound prospect is regarded as the No. 1 receiver in the class.
Other players to keep an eye on include Raheem Floyd, a four-star cornerback from East St. Louis who is coming off an official visit to Missouri. Wiltfong has Florida firmly in the mix, but believes that the Tigers hold a slight edge. Wiltfong suggests that, with Floyd on campus, the Gators have a chance to sway the 6-foot-2-inch, 170-pound blue-chip defensive back.
Marquis Evans is another name to watch out for. The 6-foot-3-inch, 235-pound Spain Park High School prospect is coming off visits to Tennessee, Miami and Auburn before making his way to Gainesville. Clemson is reportedly the leader for Four-star Lakeside High School safety Seth Williams, but Florida will get to make its case with the Peach State native this weekend.
Florida has 23 total commits in the 2027 cycle, with 16 of those pledges rated four-stars or better. It is the 4th-ranked recruiting class according to 247Sports composite and No. 3 according to ESPN's latest national rankings.
