Recruiting can change quickly in today’s college football. Two days before early singing day, the Gators didn’t have a single commitment from a safety in the 2025 class. After staying connected with a pair of highly regarded prospects until the very end, Florida flipped two top 10 safeties in Drake Stubbs and Lagonza Hayward, both of which signed on December 4th and enrolled for spring football.
With a number of injuries in the secondary throughout spring camp, Stubbs and Hayward were able to find significant reps within the two deep, increasing their chances at early playing time in Gainesville.
