Gators are ‘definitely top five’ for 4-star LB in Palm Beach County

With 20-plus offers to choose from, 2026 4-star linebacker Adam Balogoun-Ali says four schools are doing the best job of communicating with him.

One of them is the University of Florida , which views the South Florida native as a top priority at linebacker. Tennessee, Florida State and Penn State are pushing all the right buttons as well.

According to the On300 rankings, Balogoun-Ali is the No. 10 linebacker and No. 112 prospect overall.

“They’re definitely top five,” Balogoun-Ali said of Florida when speaking to Gators Online. “Everything is good. They are doing a good job of recruiting me. They text me every now and then. They understand I get busy, so they don’t try to overdo it and I appreciate that. Everything is going good.”
