After years of struggle, the Florida Gators are finally back in the AP Top 25 as the first preseason poll has been released. The Gators come in ranked No. 15, which is fair with how their 2024 season went. After a rough start, Florida was able to finish the season strong and create some hype for their performance in 2025.
The return of quarterback DJ Lagway certainly is a big deal when it comes to Florida's ranking, and it seems his apparent leg injury, which has been deemed minor, didn't affect the Gators too much for the AP to rank them any lower.
