GAINESVILLE, Fla.-- With 2025 spring camp well in the rearview mirror, it's now time for the Florida Gators to fully turn its attention to the class of 2026.

With only one commit heading into the summer, the Gators will be active hosts during the visit season over the next month as head coach Billy Napier looks to build his fifth recruiting class in his tenure.

In February, Napier gave a brief insight into how he wants to build his class in this cycle.

"I think we got a general number at each position without putting that out there for the competition," he said. "... You're always five OLs, a back or two, a tight end or two, three or four receivers, a quarterback or two, three DLs, three edges, two inside backers and five DBs, you're plus or minus one.

"So just depends on who leaves, who declares for the draft. We typically evaluate it in training camp, and we can evaluate it on the first open date. You just keep going. We'll see where we're at. We're getting closer."

Below is a tracker of everything you need to know about Florida's 2026 recruiting efforts, broken up by the Gators' commits, prospects Florida is predicted to land and those who listed UF in their top schools.

This list will be updated as recruits make announcements on finalists, visit schedules and more. Visit Florida Gators on SI's recruiting page for all relevant recruiting news, interviews and more.
