Florida Makes Second Recruiting Splash on Monday

On Monday, the Florida Gators landed a commitment from three-star offensive lineman Javarii Luckas. Luckas' commitment continued a hot stretch for Florida, with the once-SEC power already landing eight other prospects this month alone.

However, the Gators did not rest on their laurels after landing Luckas, their third offensive line commit of the 2026 class. Instead, later in the day, the Billy Napier-led squad grabbed another offensive tackle.

On the heels of Javarii Luckas' commitment, fellow three-star tackle Tyler Chukuyem committed to Florida. 247 ranks Chukuyem slightly ahead of Luckas.

The Georgia native also holds offers from the Florida State Seminoles, the Florida Atlantic Owls, the Ole Miss Rebels, the Cincinnati Bearcats, the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, and the UAB Blazers, among others.

The strong month of recruiting for Florida continues to vault them up 247Sports' rankings regarding the 2026 class. With Monday's verbal commitments from Chukuyem and Luckas, the class is now ranked 23rd overall, according to 247.

They have 12 commits for 2026, headlined by wide receiver Marquez Daniel, quarterback Will Griffin, and athlete Justin Williams. The trio all rank as fringe five-star recruits on 247, with Daniel holding the most elite of marks.

Daniel is a six-foot-five pass catcher that has 82 receptions in his three-year high school career. He has also scored a ludicrous 26 times while playing for Booker T. Washington High School in Tuscaloosa.

Of note, the USC Trojans sit atop the ranks with a whopping 29 verbal commits. The Ohio State Buckeyes rank second with just 15 total commits in comparison.
