Just days ago, the Florida Gators 2020 recruiting class ranked No. 11 in the nation according to the 247Sports Composite Team Recruiting Rankings. After a recent run of commitments, UF climbed to No. 7 overall. However, the commitment of Portsmouth (Va.) I.C. Norcom four-star edge rusher Antwaun Powell has the Gators climbing even higher. Florida's 2020 recruiting class now sits at No. 5 in the nation currently. The Gators were able to jump the Ohio State Buckeyes and Notre Dame Fighting Irish in the team recruiting rankings with this latest move.

Florida's 2020 class remains the No. 4 recruiting class in the Southeastern Conference. The Alabama Crimson Tide lead the SEC and sit No. 2 overall in the nation. LSU Tigers is next with the No. 3 class in the country followed by the Georgia Bulldogs at No. 4 overall. The SEC teams immediately trailing UF are theTexas A&M Aggies at No. 10, South Carolina Gamecocks at No. 11, and Mississippi Rebels at No. 14 in the nation. Florida's in-state rivals, the Miami Hurricanes and Florida State Seminoles, currently sit at No. 8 and No. 16 in the nation respectively.

The Gators now have a total of 18 prospects committed in the 2020 recruiting class, and their average grade per commit sits at 89.82 currently. Florida's pledges include Gainesville (Fla.) Eastside four-star quarterback Anthony Richardson, Ocala (Fla.) Vanguard four-star wide receiver Leonard Manuel, Tampa (Fla.) Middleton four-star defensive tackle Johnnie Brown, Lake Wales (Fla.) four-star defensive tackle Gervon Dexter, Dunnellon (Fla.) four-star wide receiver Jaquavion Fraziars, Hartford (CT) St. Thomas More four-star defensive tackle Lamar Goods, Missouri City (Texas) Fort Bend Marshall four-star cornerback Avery Helm, Valdosta (Ga.) three-star athlete Jaheim Bell, Lakeland (Fla.) Lake Gibson three-star defensive end/outside linebacker Morven Joseph, Miami (Fla.) Christian School three-star offensive guard Jovens Janvier, Marietta (Ga.) three-star safety Rashad Torrence II, Homerville (Ga.) Clinch County four-star tight end Jeremiah Johnson, Tampa (Fla.) Jesuit three-star tight end Jonathan Odom, Fort Lauderdale (Fla.) Cardinal Gibbons three-star offensive tackle Gerald Mincey, Jacksonville (Fla.) Bartram Trail defensive back Tre'Vez Johnson, Ft. Lauderdale (Fla.) St. Thomas Aquinas four-star linebacker Derek Wingo, Lakeland (Fla.) three-star cornerback Fenley Graham, and the aforementioned Powell.

Florida still has plenty of upward mobility on the 247Sports Composite Team Recruiting Rankings, as the Gators are very much in the mix for several elite prospects still. The Gators are still after Miami (Fla.) Columbus four-star wide receiver Xzavier Henderson, Lakeland (Fla.) wide receiver Arian Smith, Largo (Fla.) Pinellas Park four-star running back Lawrance Toafili, Deland (Fla.) four-star safety and currently Oregon commit Avantae Williams, Cocoa (Fla.) offensive guard Richard Leonard and many more.

The 247Sport Composite, an industry generated average, currently ranks Powell as the nation's No. 136 overall prospect and the No. 6 weak-side defensive end in the 2020 recruiting class.
