With five commitments in the 2022 recruiting class, Dan Mullen and his Florida Gators staff are off to a good start in this cycle. Following a disappointing 2021 class finish in terms of expectations for the program, many are looking at 2022 in hopes it will be a big class that can help the future in Gainesville.
There is still a long way to go in this 2022 cycle and the Gators will receive more commitments down the line but they have a good base started.
Included in those five commitments are a few players ranked in the ESPN Top 300 for the 2022 class. The publication released their list earlier in the week and two Gators are listed in the top 175.

Four-star offensive tackle Tony Livingston is Florida’s top-ranked player checking in at No. 114 overall and is followed by another four-star commit in quarterback Nick Evers at No. 166 overall. The commitments from Livingston and Evers came just a few days apart in March, helping Florida pick up some momentum.
Three other Florida recruits weren’t ranked in the top 300 but there is plenty of time left for them to up their stock.
Even so, the month of June could be a big one for Florida as they are set to host two big recruiting weekends. Among those visiting on the two weekends are some pretty big targets including five-star recruits. Mullen and the Gators will have the chance to impress them and hopefully land a commitment eventually.
