Florida Gators
2019 record: 11-2, 6-2 SEC
Returning starters: six offense, five defense, one special teams
After losing to SEC East rival Georgia in three straight seasons, the Gators believe they're closing the talent gap, especially after the Bulldogs lost a handful of juniors to the NFL draft. The Gators will have stability at quarterback with QB Trask returning.
There are 84 recruited scholarship players on Florida’s roster at present. They bear an average of 3.6 recruiting stars and an average rating of 0.9025.
The rating threshold between 3-star and 4-star in the Composite is 0.8900. The team’s average rating being in the 4-star range despite the average star rating being 3.6 tells you that Florida’s 3-star players skew towards the high end of the range. In fact, one in five of the Gators’ 3-star non-specialists is within 0.0100 of getting a fourth star.
UF has four 5-stars, up from functionally zero last year. The program didn’t officially go a season without one following the post-2018 graduations of Martez Ivey and Cece Jefferson, but it might as well have. The incoming transfer of Brenton Cox kept Florida on its streak of however long it is of always having at least one 5-star, but he had to sit out the season due to transfer rules.
Florida also has 47 4-star players, giving them a combined 51 blue chip 4 or 5-star players. That means 60.7% of the 84 recruited scholarship players are blue chip guys. If you eliminate the specialists, which is reasonable since punters and kickers never get above 3-star ratings, it edges up to 62.2% of 82 recruited scholarship players. UF also has 31 3-star players and two 2-star players.
These rates are up from last year. By the time the FSU game kicked off, Florida had 74 recruited scholarship players. Taking 247’s post-transfer rerank that bumped Jonathan Greenard up from a 3-star out of high school to a 4-star out of Louisville, the average star rating was 3.5 and the average numerical rating was 0.8976. The ineligible Cox was again the only 5-star, and 39 players were 4-stars. Those figures gave the roster a 54.1% composition of blue chip players (55.6% without specialists).
