It\u2019s been an insane week of recruiting for the Florida Gators, and it got even better on Saturday with another blue-chip commitment.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ve talked a lot about how great the Florida Gators have been on a massive hot streak when it comes to recruiting. Head coach Jon Sumrall has been thriving in nearly every aspect of recruiting, having one of the best recruiting starts we\u2019ve ever seen from a Gators head coach.<\/p>\n

This week, he\u2019s landed five commitments, bringing the total to 21.<\/p>\n
That number grew by one, as the Gators landed a commitment from four-star linebacker Ellis McGaskin.<\/p>\n
Florida Gators 2027 Recruiting Class<\/p>\n
In Jon Sumrall\u2019s first season, the Florida Gators have the No. 5 overall recruiting class with 22 commitments.<\/p>\n
Among their commitments, four of their top ones are on the offensive line, including five-star offensive lineman Maxwell Hiller.<\/p>\n
Sumrall is chasing multiple five-star recruits, including two at wide receiver and the No. 1 overall recruit in Texas Tech commitment Jalen Brewster.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a nice addition for the Gators to land McGaskin. A linebacker out of Mobile, Alabama, McGaskin is a four-star recruit per the Rivals\u2019 Industry Ranking, and the No. 30 overall linebacker. He joins fellow four-star Ja\u2019Bios Smith as one of the two linebackers in the Gators\u2019 recruiting class.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s an impressive duo of linebackers that the Gators have landed in the last week, and it strengthens a defensive class that is now at 10 commits, with Kamarion Johnson possibly being an 11th depending on whether he will play offense or defense.<\/p>\n
The Gators are far from done recruiting. They still have two more massive visiting weekends to earn even more commitments, and they still have plenty of elite targets left on the board.<\/p>\n
Sumrall has now landed a whopping 22 recruits after landing McGaskin.<\/p>\n
