The Florida Gators had a successful recruiting Tuesday, gaining forecasts for two 2027 targets, one of whom has set a commitment date for next week.
On3’s Blake Alderman made a forecast for the Gators to acquire Warner Robins (Ga. ) Northside four-star corner Aamaury Fountain, while On3’s Steve Wiltfong predicted Sarasota (Fla. ) Cardinal Mooney four-star quarterback Davin Davinson.
Davinson is recently returning from a trip to the Miami Hurricanes, but the in-state institution already has a commitment from a blue-chip recruit at the same position, thus the Hurricanes are no longer a consideration. Instead, the Gators are vying with Kentucky, Auburn, Georgia, Virginia Tech, Mississippi State, and Notre Dame for his services.
NEWS: Four-star quarterback Davin Davidson will reveal his commitment on April 9th, he told me for @Rivals.
The 6’6 215-pound Sarasota, Florida, quarterback is ranked No. 11 on the 2027 Rivals300.
He is a 6-foot-6, 210-pound quarterback that the Gators recognized early as their top option at quarterback. Davinson is a consensus four-star recruit in the 2027 class, having improved rapidly since the start of the year. The in-state quarterback intends to announce his decision on April 9, with the Gators trending as the favorite to sign him.
The towering quarterback had a successful junior season at Cardinal Mooney, guiding the team to the FHSAA Class 2A state title in 2025. According to MaxPreps, he completed 137 of his 212 pass attempts for 2,360 yards and 23 touchdowns in 15 games. He also only had six interceptions.
Fountain, like Davinson, was one of Florida’s top goals for his position. He received an offer from Jon Sumrall soon after the Gators head coach joined the team, indicating that he was a high priority.
Despite being a South Carolina commit, On3’s No. 25 overall prospect in the 2027 class has visited Gainesville several times since January, when he committed to the Gamecocks.
According to MaxPreps, Fountain had 32 tackles, including one for loss, in ten games as a junior. He also had four interceptions, eleven pass breakups, one fumble recovery, and one forced fumble.
Florida has commitments from three players right now. The first in the class was Plantation (Fla. ) American Heritage four-star cornerback Amare Nugent. Tight end Jackson Ballinger from Centerburg, Ohio, and athlete Tramond Collins from Cottondale, Florida, will join Nugent in the Gators’ 2027 class.
The Gators, on the other hand, are in a good position with several of their recruits. Other prospects expected to commit include Coatesville (Pa. ) five-star offensive lineman Maxwell Hiller, Ridgeland (S. C. ) Bluffton four-star wide receiver Amare Patterson, Wellington (Fla. ) Palm Beach four-star defensive lineman Tyler Alexander, Port Charlotte (Fla. ) four-star wide receiver Elias Pearl, Fort Lauderdale (Fla. ) Dillard four-star receiver Anthony Jennings, Orlando (Fla. ) Jones four-star edge Frederick Ards III, Coral Gables (Fla. ) Senior three-star defensive lineman Stive-Bentley Keumajou, and Orlando (Fla. ) First Academy three-star defensive back Kamauri Whitfield.
