Florida trending for 2025 4-star IOL Peyton Joseph

Following a pair of expert predictions, Florida is now trending for Fort Valley (Ga.) Houston County 2025 four-star interior offensive lineman Peyton Joseph, according to the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine.

On3 Director of Recruiting Chad Simmons logged an expert prediction with a 60% confidence level that the Gators will land Joseph. Florida State insider Michael Langston followed up with a 50% confidence prediction favoring the Gators.

Florida now leads with a 91.5% chance of landing Joseph, per the RPM.

Joseph announced Friday that he will commit on February 18. He will choose between LSU, Florida State, Florida, Michigan, Miami, Penn State and Tennessee.

Joseph is the No. 123 overall prospect and No. 5 IOL in the 2025 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He’s also the No. 18 player in Georgia.

Joseph visited Florida last fall. Billy Napier, Rob Sale and the Gators staff continue to build their relationships with the blue-chipper as he now nears his college decision.

“My visit back to UF was amazing. The coaches were very welcoming toward my family and wanted to get know about everything,” Joseph told Gators Online in October.

“(Offensive coordinator) coach (Rob) Sale is a great guy along with being a great coach. Coach (Billy) Napier is one of a kind. He is a guy who is a man of his word, which amazed me.”

Joseph said he has just been enjoying the process.

“I had a talk with my parents and coaches about just enjoying the process and I felt like I should take coaching and take with my parents are saying and enjoy the process,” Joseph told On3’s Jeremy Johnson last summer. “Lots of programs are wanting to recruit me. I’m letting them recruit. I’m making relationships with each and every coach in programs that I feel like could be home for me.”
