GAINESVILLE, Fla. — For the first time in the Billy Napier era, the Florida Gators go into an offseason with real momentum. The Gators finished the regular season with four consecutive wins, including wins over No. 21 LSU and No. 9 Ole Miss.
Florida’s coaching staff was able to parlay that on-field success into recruiting wins. The Gators added five-star receiver Dallas Wilson and have the No. 10 class in the country, according to 247 Sports.
