Gator Football Continues to Flip Recruits As Future Brightens

Florida continues to build towards the future with yet another big time recruit, 6-foot-3 edge rusher Jayden Woods flipping from Penn State to the Florida Gators. The Shawnee, KS star has decided to join the Gators after an unofficial visit to Gainesville this past weekend.

The back-to-back top 25 victories, along with a vote of confidence for Billy Napier from AD Scott Strickland created momentum which has started to reap rewards as the Gators moved from the low 50’s to a possible top 10 class as signing day is just around the corner on December 4.

Woods is a 4-Star prospect that would fit nicely into the JACK position at Florida and Coach Mike Peterson is the key coach responsible for Woods flipping. There have been several other flips unofficially announced, including some key ones from Florida State.

As it stands, Florida has 20 verbal commitments:

4-Star wide receiver- Vernell Brown III
