Florida Football Recruiting: Meet the Gators' 2016 Class

The Florida Gators look to be in great shape moving forward following Jim McElwain’s first full recruiting class as head coach.

Florida used a successful 10-4 2015 campaign to help reel in the 13th-ranked recruiting class in the nation, according to 247Sports. The Gators’ class sat in the top 10 heading into 2016 national signing day, but it fell a bit due to surges from other programs and the flip of 4-star defensive tackle Shavar Manuel to in-state rival Florida State.

Nonetheless, this incoming group will be instrumental in establishing a foundation for McElwain’s program.
