GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Florida's complete freshman class arrived on campus without mishap last week, marking the second straight year that the Gators have gotten an entire signing class on campus without an academic casualty.

Will Muschamp has only had one academic casualty in four signing classes at Florida.

The Gators have put together a remarkable success rate of getting their signees to campus over the last decade, enrolling 98.7 percent of their 233 signees.

There have been just three total academic casualties dating back to the start of Urban Meyer's tenure in 2005: TE Brian Ellis (2005), S Dee Finley (2008) and OL Omari Phillips (2012). Of those, Finley later enrolled at Florida in the fall of 2009 and Phillips was cleared by the NCAA but denied admission to Florida.

For comparison, Georgia has lost at least one signee in each of its past five signing classes due to academics. The Bulldogs have lost eight total signees in the past five years.

"It's a total team effort on campus, professors, our administration, our academic people do a fantastic job," coach Will Muschamp said on national signing day. "It takes all these moving parts to make things work the right way. We've got a great staff. Our staff did an outstanding job."

That Florida has had so few academic casualties is a testament to the job the Gators do properly identifying where recruits stand from a grade standpoint and making sure they can get in at Florida.

That's far from a given most of the time, and though there have been some close calls in recent years -- Dante Fowler and Jonathan Bullard both had to enroll late because of academic clearance snags -- the Gators have gotten the job done.

That's just one more thing Florida can point to on the recruiting trail, and Muschamp and his staff don't let parents or recruits forget it.

"You're going to get a great education," he said. "It's one of the few places in the country -- and I tell parents this and I tell recruits this -- where you can realistically win a national championship on and off the field. You're going to get a great education and you can win big on the field as well, and that's what we plan on doing."
