With the weekend commitment of Verbell Brown III, Florida made a pretty seismic jump in the recruiting rankings.
The jump in the On3 Industry Rankings underscores how big of a get Brown is for Florida, but also how underwhelming the Gators have recruited so far this year.
Brown is a 5-foot-11 wide receiver from Jones High School (Orlando, Florida). He picked Florida from a final four that also included Florida State, Miami and Ohio State
Florida moved up 19 spots in the On3 Industry Rankings following the Sunday commitment of Brown.
A four-star wide receiver, Brown is a top-40 recruit in the nation according to On3 as well as Rivals and 247Sports. He is the seventh-ranked wide receiver in the class of 2025 according to ESPN.
The Gators, who had the second-worst recruiting class in the SEC heading into the weekend, are now ranked No. 13 in the conference. Brown is the highest-ranked recruit in Florida’s class and is one of five recruits ranked as a four-star.
