Florida football recruiting: Gators in pursuit of legacy recruit Ben Hanks Jr.

Florida football recruiting is taking a good early look at the 2025 cycle and working to identify the guys that they want to go after.

One recruit from Miami is a pretty clear target, given what his father did for the Gators back in the ’90s.

The Gators are after Ben Hanks Jr., a 4-star corner at Booker T. Washington, and the son of Ben Hanks who played for Florida from 1992-1995.

Florida may be able to use its legacy connection to gain the upper hand in his recruitment.

Watching Hanks on tape, he is able to do just about everything on the field and doesn’t have a glaring weakness.
