In this story:

The Florida Gators 2027 recruiting class grew bigger on Thursday after Charlotte (N.C.) William Amos Hough three-star offensive lineman Moreno Fisher committed to the program, he announced on social media. Fisher is the Gators' 27th commitment this cycle. 

He ranks as a consensus three-star prospect in the 2027 class. He holds offers from programs such as Florida State, North Carolina and Auburn. He also just recently backed off his pledge to Virginia, putting himself back on the market on Oct. 14. 

Fisher is also fresh off an official visit to Florida. He set foot in Gainesville to watch the Gators take on the Oklahoma Sooners this past weekend. Despite the Gators falling in an ugly fashion, Fisher saw enough on the trip to commit five days later. 

“I’m excited to get down there. I can’t wait to put my head down and work and just do great for this program,” Fisher told 247 Sports’ Tyler Harden.

His recruitment skyrocketed over the past two months. Florida first offered him on Sept. 27. Then, Auburn followed soon after, offering him a scholarship on Oct. 8. Florida State and NC State also threw their hats in the ring in October. 

Florida has emphasized offensive linemen in the 2027 cycle. Fisher’s commitment marks the fourth lineman in the class. The crown jewel in the group is Coatesville (Pa.) five-star offensive lineman Maxwell Hiller, while four-stars Elijah Hutcheson and Peyton Miller are also in the group.

It is no surprise seeing the Gators attack this position group, though. It has been a weak spot for them this season, and as the season comes to a close, Sumrall mentioned needing to capitalize on the month of November to create recruiting momentum going into the offseason. 

“The ‘27 recruiting class is essentially buttoned up. There might be one or two things that could change there, but you're looking at the ‘28 class and you're really targeting the portal,” he said. “And then two, like I told our team this morning about we have a lot to play for. I'm not saying we're there yet, but if we find a way to just go 1-0 every week for the next four weeks, and you look up, who knows where you stand at that point in the chaos we're all in in college football right now.”
