The Florida Gators are surging on the recruiting trail after landing three new commitments in the 2026 class over the weekend — and more could be on the way as official visits continue. All three newcomers are rated four-star prospects by the industry-generated 247Sports Composite, with Tupelo (Miss.) defensive lineman JaReylan McCoy leading the group.
The 6-foot-6, 245-pound standout chose Florida over LSU and Texas Saturday, holding more than 30 offers from top programs across the country. McCoy previously made his official visit to Gainesville in late May. According to the Composite, he ranks as the No. 121 overall prospect nationally and the No. 16 defensive lineman in the class.
Tuskegee (Ala.) Booker T. Washington wide receiver Marquez Daniel made his commitment to Florida on Saturday as well, choosing the Gators over finalist Auburn. Daniel ranks as the No. 178 overall prospect and No. 25 wide receiver in the class, according to the Composite.
The weekend wave began Friday evening when Fairburn (Ga.) Langston Hughes running back Carsyn Baker pulled the trigger on a commitment to Florida, picking the Gators over Florida State, Ohio State and South Carolina — which had been scheduled to host him next weekend. Baker was previously in Gainesville back in mid-May.
This latest string of commitments marks a greater surge for coach Billy Napier and the Gators, who have actively secured eight of their 10 commits in the 2026 class since the start of June. Florida has climbed to No. 28 nationally in the 247Sports Composite team rankings and stands sixth among SEC programs.
