GATORS PODCAST: Florida’s season-closing surge saves National Signing Day (Ep. 262)

Three weeks ago, the Gators’ 2025 recruiting class was barely inside the top 50 and circling the drain. But since upsetting LSU, the Gators have flipped the script along with a dozen recruits verbally committed to other schools. By National Signing Day, the Gators had risen to No. 11,  and even briefly entered the top 10. Billy Napier credited UF AD Scott Stricklin’s vote of confidence followed by a three-game winning streak convincing prospects who were on the fence to take a leap of faith. During the latest Swamp Things, Edgar and Mark break down Napier’s fourth class at Florida.
