Florida Lands Top Corner Raheem Floyd | Florida Gators Football News

Florida football just pulled off a major recruiting coup with the commitment of four-star cornerback Raheem Floyd, the 26th overall recruit in their 2027 class. Floyd, a top-200 player known for his elite speed and instincts — including MVP honors at Nike’s The Opening — chose the Gators over conference rival Missouri. He was swayed by the culture under new head coach Jon Sumrall and sealed the deal after an official visit to Gainesville. This is a huge win for defensive backs coach Brandon Harris and boosts Florida’s already elite defensive back corps, which now includes five four-star corners — Floyd being the highest-ranked at 170. With 55 tackles, 14 pass breakups, and an interception last season, Floyd is a shutdown corner who makes quarterbacks avoid throwing his way. His addition further solidifies Florida’s position as the SEC’s 5-ranked team, with 17 commitments already locked in as recruiting winds down.
