Head coach Billy Napier and the Florida Gators have put together an impressive 2026 recruiting class which ranks 13th in the country according to On3.com. The program has an opportunity to snare a crown jewel in the class despite being relatively late into the cycle.
Safety Bralan Womack announced his commitment date of August 23 in late April, and Florida is featured in his Top 4. At that time, Ohio State was viewed as the clear frontrunner, but after an official visit at the start of June and some additional work by lead recruiter and safeties' coach Vinnie Sunseri, Florida is firmly in the mix.
On3.com recruiting analyst Steve Wiltfong provided an update on Womack's recruitment just over one month away from the Flowood, Mississippi native's commitment date.

Rated the top safety in the '26 class by 247sports and the No. 3 safety by rivals, Womack would be the Gators' first five-star recruit of the 2026 cycle.
Here's what Hail Florida Hail said about Womack back in February:
"Womack is a two-way player whose more impressive clips come as a wide receiver. He's more of a stop-and-go route runner, but when he goes, he explodes. In one clip, he runs a slow-motion jet sweep, is dead to rights for a 10-yard loss, yet wiggles away for an eventual first down.
As a safety, he doesn't necessarily blow guys up like some other prospects, but his athleticism and read of the game are on display on several interceptions.
Womack does have solid speed with long, galloping strides and has a PR in the 100-meter dash of 11.03 seconds."
A truly special talent, Womack would join a group of 2026 secondary commits that includes cornerback CJ Bronaugh, safety Kaiden Hall and cornerback CJ Hester.
While Florida may not be the favorites to land Womack, they have enough positive momentum to make some more headway over the final month of his recruitment.
