Florida did a phenomenal job of putting together an elite recruiting list for its season opener against Miami.
Dozens of the top prospects, especially regionally, were at the game, a number of them committed to other programs. A lot of elite 2026 prospects and some select 2027 and even 2028 players were there in person.
It didn’t go well.
