In a surprising twist in the 2025 recruiting cycle, Jayden Woods, a highly touted 4-star edge rusher, has officially announced his commitment to the Florida Gators. The decision comes after weeks of speculation surrounding his recruitment, with schools like Georgia, Alabama, and LSU heavily in the mix.
Woods, ranked as one of the top edge rushers in his class, cited the Gators’ coaching staff and player development as key factors in his decision:
“Florida just felt like home. The coaching staff made it clear how I fit into their defensive scheme, and I’m confident they’ll help me reach my full potential. The energy in Gainesville is unmatched, and I want to be a part of something special.”
Head coach Billy Napier continues to emphasize building a strong defense, and Woods’ addition reflects a clear commitment to strengthening the pass rush.
With Woods on board, Florida could attract additional high-profile recruits to round out the class.
