The Florida Gators scored a major win in the 2025 recruiting cycle with the commitment of South Florida standout Joshua Moore.

Billy Napier added four-star wide receiver [autotag]Joshua Moore[/autotag] out of Pembroke Pines (Florida) West Broward to his 2025 recruiting haul on Wednesday after the coveted pass-catcher committed to the Florida football program.

The 6-foot-3-inch, 205-pound pass-catcher had whittled down his preferred collegiate destinations to a final two schools at the end of last week, with the Gators prevailing over the Florida State Seminoles for the blue-chip talent.

“Florida, I feel like it feels more homey,” Moore told Swamp247 prior to the the official announcement. “Not too far away from home, but I’m far away enough. I feel like I can get developed here. I could become a better man, and a better player on the field also. That’s why I chose Florida.”

Recruiting Summary

Moore is ranked No. 196 overall and No. 25 at his position nationally according to the 247Sports composite while the On3 industry ranking has him at Nos. 197 and 24, respectively.

Florida held two crystal ball predictions from 247Sports coming into the day while On3’s recruiting prediction machine gave the Gators a 97.0% chance of signing him.
