Gators make the cut after this five-star recruiting target updated his list

This five-star safety—a Florida Gators football recruiting target—made some changes to his top six list this week but kept UF on his list.

Dan Mullen and his Florida Gators staff are working hard on building their 2022 recruiting class, following what some may call a disappointing 2021 class in terms of standards for the program.

But so far, the Gators are off to a good start in the 2022 class landing five recruits already.

One top recruit remaining is five-star safety Jacoby Matthews, a top 50 player out of Ponchatoula, Louisiana who has a total of 30 offers in his recruitment so far. Matthews listed his top six schools back in February, which included the Gators.

On Tuesday, he made an update to that list of six by removing Mississippi State, Oklahoma and Alabama. He then added USC, Arizona State and Clemson, all teams who have recently offered. Here is his updated top six: LSU, Florida, USC, Arizona State, Texas and Clemson.

That’s a good list and some tough competition for the Gators moving forward in his recruitment.

Florida has made Matthews a priority over the past few months, hoping to eventually land the talented safety to their 2022 class. There’s still some time to go in this recruitment but the Gators have to feel good about this news.
