Florida Football has had an impressive start to the 2024 recruiting cycle. What Wide Receivers are high on the Gators, and which are looking elsewhere?

Florida Football Head Coach Billy Napier failed to deliver the on-the-field results that the fanbase is demanding, but Napier is meeting the demands on the recruiting trail. In Napier’s first recruiting class, Florida Football nearly landed a top-ten class nationally. The Gators finished the 2023 recruiting cycle with the 11th-ranked class, good for fourth in the SEC.

The 2023 recruiting class was exceptional for the Florida Gators when it came to the Wide Receiver position. The class was highlighted by two Top-100 recruits, Eugene Wilson and Aidan Mizell. The Gators were also able to pluck four-star Andy Jean out of Miami to round out the Wide Receiver haul.

While Florida Football was successful in 2023, 2024 is a new monster. The Gators will be starting with a new Wide Receiver Coach, with Keary Colbert leaving for the NFL. As Billy Napier works to fill his position, let’s look at what Wide Receivers are trending for Florida Football and which are trending towards other destinations.
