The Florida Gators need to start getting recruits committed for the 2026 recruiting class and head coach Billy Napier knows that it's a priority.
Right now, the Gators only have one player committed in the 2026 class in four-star quarterback Will Griffin. They have had more, but three back seven defenders have already recommitted for various reasons, including four-star linebacker Izayia Williams doing so for the fourth time.
Gators five-star recruiting target sets commitment date
One of the higher profile targets the Gators have right now is five-star wide receiver Cederian Morgan. He's already visited the Gators on three occasions and will make his official visit on June 6th.
That official visit is going to prove huge, as Morgan has set his commitment date, which will be less than a month later on July 2nd, according to On3 Sports' Hayes Fawcett.
Right now, the Alabama Crimson Tide is firmly in the lead to land Morgan, but the Gators are working on him. He told Gators Online's Corey Bender that "Everything with Florida is going great."
There is one other element that plays in Napier's favor: Morgan isn't steadfast on staying in his home state of Alabama.
“I am taking my time with everything,” Morgan told On3’s Chad Simmons back in the fall. “A lot of schools are recruiting me hard, so many are making me feel like a top priority and it is great to hear from schools every day…"
“I don’t care if I stay in state or go out of state. I am going to take my time, sort things out and see where I need to be. Communication is really big for me. Playing for coaches that can help me get to the next level is big too.”
The Gators will need to make an impression on Morgan, as he still has three visits to go after he visits Gainesville.
