With the commitment Tuesday night from 4-star receiver Tawaski Abrams of Fort Myers (FL) Dunbar High, the Florida Gators have moved up one spot in the On3 recruiting team rankings.

Billy Napier’s program now sits at No. 3.

The flip by Abrams from Florida State to Florida is the Gators’ 21st verbal in the 2024 class.

The Gators are in good company at the top. Georgia, the two-time defending national champion, is No. 1, followed by Ohio State.

Florida’s commitment list includes two 5-stars and 13 4-stars in the On3 Industry Rankings. The Gators have an average commit rating of 92.585. The 5-stars are safety Xavier Filsaime and quarterback DJ Lagway, both from Texas.

“Just the feeling I got from being there,” Abrams told Hayes Fawcett of On3. “It felt like the right place for me from the field to the classroom. Touring the facilities, getting to see that this place is really at the top when it comes to producing and creating great players let me know this is where I wanna be.”

Ten players committed to the Gators in June. (Complete commitment list HERE) Midway through that month, Florida sat well outside the top 10 of the recruiting team rankings.

The Gators started to get hot in mid-June

In July, Florida has kept the momentum going.

Abrams is the fourth Gators commitment this month. Just last week, 4-star offensive tackle Fletcher Westphal of Virginia and 3-star cornerback Teddy Foster of Florida committed to the orange and blue.

“They are the full package when it comes to coaching with their personal player experience, NFL experience and years of coaching experience,” Westphal said. “I could learn a lot from them both. Plus it gives the (O-Line) more reps in practice because they can divide and conquer.”

Today, the Gators are solidly in the top five and remain very much in contention with multiple high-quality targets.
