The Gators finalized securing one of the top prospects in their 2025 class when in-state linebacker Ty Jackson signed with the program on Early Signing Day. Ranked the No. 123 overall prospect and the No. 12 linebacker in 247Sports’ Composite Rankings, Jackson had initially indicated he planned to make his final decision on Early Signing Day when it came to his recruitment, only for the Loxahatchee (Fla.) Seminole Ridge four-star prospect to pledge to USC back in September.
