Lagonza Hayward Announces Commitment to Florida Gators

Lagonza Hayward, a 2025 safety, has announced his commitment to Florida.

The Georgia Bulldogs have been working on putting the finishing touches on their 2025 recruiting class but one of their targets just committed elsewhere. Lagonza Hayward, a safety, has announced his commitment to the Florida Gators. Hayward was at one point committed to Tennessee, then de-committed and has now announced his pledge to Florida.

Hayward is rated as a four-star prospect, the 72nd-best player in the country and the ninth-best safety in the class, according to 247 sports composite rankings. Multiple teams started making a push for Hayward down the stretch of his recruitment and it looks like the Gators had the best pitch in the end of it.

Georgia was one of many teams that continuously pursued Hayward and it looked like they had a chance to ultimately land his commitment, but have come up just short in this battle.
