FLORIDA RECRUITING: Aaron Chiles Makes it Four!

We've been talking about the "June Bloom" for weeks on end. And fans, rightfully so, have been asking when we may finally see results. Luckily for us, Billy Napier made sure we didn't have to wait any longer.

After another busy weekend of official visits, Napier and company landed not one, not two, not three, but FOUR commits Saturday, with linebacker Aaron Chiles being the latest addition to the class of 2024.

Chiles was viewed as heavily leaning towards Michigan, but clearly enjoyed his time in Gainesville this past weekend enough to warrant a verbal commit.

The four-star linebacker joins an already talented group in the 2024 class including four-stars Adarius Hayes and Myles Graham. With plenty of time left to continue recruiting for 2024, the Gators are already in an amazing spot when it comes to recruiting the linebacker position.

Chiles had only been to Gainesville one other time, which was nearly a year ago, but had long planned on making it back for an official visit. Florida is the middle of three OV's he has set up, after he was at Clemson earlier in the month. He has plans to take an official visit to Michigan next weekend, but it's now unclear if he still intends to do so after his decision.

He is a talented, big back with a lot of upside and an ability to line up in several different spots, including both inside and as a blitzer on the edge. In addition, he is very physical and has demonstrated a strong ability to shed blocks and get involved in the box in run support.

Chiles is regarded as one of the top linebackers in the class of 2024 by both On3 and 247Sports. He is ranked as the No. 9 linebacker by On3 and the No. 6 backer for 247Sports. Regardless of where you look, the Gators get a good one.

While Napier and the rest of the Gators' program hopes that the recruiting run will continue well after June, June 17 will go down as the highlight of Napier's short time in Gainesville so far. After all, it's called the "June Bloom" for a reason.
