Four-star WR from South Florida high on Gators after visit

Wide receiver Naeshaun Montgomery’s recent visit to the Swamp only has Florida trending up in his recruiting race.

Miami Central wide receiver [autotag]Naeshaun Montgomery[/autotag] paid another visit to the University of Florida this weekend, and he left town with the Gators near the top of his list, according to a Gators Online report.

Montgomery was in town for Florida’s first spring scrimmage, which he got to watch up close. He spent the day with wide receivers coach Billy Gonzalez and said the visit “boosted (the Gators) even higher” in his recruitment.

“From the exact time I got on campus, I was with coach Gonzales the whole day,” said Montgomery. “He had me right next to him when calling plays and showing me how he coaches the receivers.”

Montgomery has plans to return to UF at least two more times over the next few months. The April 13 Orange and Blue Game and an official visit on May 31 are both on the calendar, but more trips could be added.

A list of his top schools could come soon. Florida is likely to make the cut along with Penn State, which is the only other school that has an official visit on the schedule.

Recruiting Summary

Montgomery is a four-star recruit everywhere but the Top247, where he is a three-star talent. The On3 industry ranking has him at No. 188 nationally and No. 23 at his position, while the 247Sports composite puts him at Nos. 128 and 16, respectively.

Florida one of ‘top schools’ for this 4-star 2025 wide receiver

Florida is “definitely one of my top schools” says this blue-chip wide receiver out of South Florida.

The recruiting grind continues for Florida football despite the current dead period that lasts until just before the season opener on Aug. 31 against the Utah Utes in Salt Lake City. Billy Napier and his staff have used this time to extend scholarship offers to student-athletes that they feel will fit the program best.

However, Napier and Co. have been planting seeds along the recruiting path consistently since taking over, and those efforts continue to pay off. Four-star wide receiver [autotag]Naeshaun Montgomery[/autotag] out of West Palm Beach (Florida) Cardinal Newman in the 2025 cycle was offered back on April 1 and recently spoke with Gators Online’s Corey Bender to discuss where he is at with the Orange and Blue.

“The relationship is kind of just beginning. We are getting to know one another,” Montgomery offered. “Me and my dad sat in (head coach Billy Napier’s) office for about an hour going over how I could fit into their system. We also talked about how well he knows my coach, coach (Jack) Daniels.

“(Napier’s) definitely a coach I can see myself getting coached by.”

Along with Florida, the blue-chip pass-catcher holds offers from the Ohio State Buckeyes, Georgia Bulldogs, Florida State Seminoles, Miami Hurricanes, USC Trojans and LSU Tigers, among others.

Despite the heavy competition for the Sunshine State product, he seems to be growing on what the Orange and Blue have to offer.

“Things since Aug. 1 have been pretty steady. We exchanged contacts and have been checking in with one another every chance we get,” said Montgomery. “I love how everyone is buying into what coach Napier has planned for the program. You can feel the love.”

As for where the Gators stand among the competition, the high school junior had a simple answer.

“Definitely one of my top schools.”

Montgomery is ranked No. 79 overall and No. 12 at his position nationally according to the 247Sports composite while the On3 industry ranking has him at Nos. 70 and 12, respectively. On3’s Recruiting Prediction Machine has Miami in front for his recruitment (23.1%) followed by Florida (20.2%), LSU (17.4%) and USC (145%).
