This coming Sunday is a big one for the Florida football program as five-star wide receiver Vernell Brown III — who is a legacy as the son of former UF defensive back and former off-field staffer Vernell Brown Jr. as well as the grandson of former player Vernell Brown Sr. — will make his verbal commitment to his preferred college program.
According to recent reports, the blue-chip pass-catcher out of Orlando (Florida) Jones in the 2025 cycle will announce the winner of his recruiting courtship at 2 p.m. ET. Along with the Gators, Brown is also considering the Florida State Seminoles, Miami Hurricanes and Ohio State Buckeyes as his future places of matriculation.
Brown talks about top schools
“I think all four schools all had the same things in common,” Brown told Swamp247. “They were all finalists because they were the schools that I think can put me in the best position to be successful not only on the field as a football player, but as a man and in life as well.
“When we’re talking about 40-year decisions, I think these schools were all really good options. Not just for football, but for things down the road in life.”
Recruiting Summary
Brown is ranked No. 25 overall and No. 6 at his position nationally according to the 247Sports composite while the On3 industry ranking has him at Nos. 33 and 6, respectively.
Ohio State holds one crystal ball prediction from 247Sports while Florida holds three of its own, with UF favored at an 85.7% chance of signing him against OSU’s 14.3%. On3’s RPM also strongly favors the Gators with an 87.8% chance of earning his commitment, followed by the Buckeyes (9.2%) and Hurricanes (1.3%).
