Florida football receiver named to ESPN's 'Three freshmen to watch' list for 2025 season
One of the nation's most highly touted incoming wide receivers is already earning national attention before his first snap for the Florida Gators. Wide receiver Dallas Wilson has been named to ESPN's "Three freshmen to watch" list ahead of the 2025 college football season. The list highlights three newcomers expected to make an immediate impact, with Wilson joining Tennessee Volunteers offensive tackle David Sanders Jr. and LSU Tigers cornerback DJ Pickett. For the Gators, the recognition adds even more excitement for an offense looking to add explosive playmakers. The Tampa Bay Tech product flipped his commitment from the Oregon Ducks to the Gators late in the recruiting process, giving Billy Napier one of his biggest recruiting wins of the cycle. In his high school career, Wilson recorded 130 receptions for 2,424 yards and 30 touchdowns, averaging an impressive 18.6 yards per catch. He was selected as an Under Armour All-American and a Polynesian Bowl participant. Given his incredible resume, it's only fitting for Wilson to be included in ESPN's list of "freshmen to watch" for the 2025 college football season. Here is everything they wrote about the talented Florida receiver. What ESPN said about Wilson "Wilson showed up instantly by catching 10 passes for almost 200 yards and two touchdowns in Florida's spring game. No matter who starts at quarterback on Week 1 for the Gators, there's a good chance they'll develop a quick connection with Wilson. "The 6-foot-4 Florida native has a massive catch radius, 10-inch hands and surprising breakaway speed given his frame. He runs a legitimate 4.5 40-yard dash and has the shiftiness to pick up yards after the catch, making him a nightmare matchup who should see the field early in The Swamp."

Four-star DL JaReylan McCoy includes Auburn in top four
Four-star DL JaReylan McCoy includes Auburn in top four The ex-LSU commit will choose between Auburn and three other programs in early July. A four-star defensive lineman and Under Armour All-American has included Auburn in his top schools ahead of his summer commitment date. JaReylan McCoy, a four-star defensive lineman from Tupelo, Mississippi, has announced his top schools and a tentative commitment date, according to a report by Chad Simmons of On3. He tells On3 that Auburn, along with Texas, LSU, and Florida, are recruiting him the hardest and will be at the front of his focus ahead of his July 1 commitment date. The 2026 defensive lineman committed to LSU during the Under Armour All-America game on Jan. 2, but de-committed one month later on Feb. 3, which gives Auburn and several other programs the chance to sway his decision. Auburn will get the chance to make a giant impression on McCoy on May 16, when he stops by for an official visit. McCoy is a four-star defensive lineman according to On3 and Rivals, and is a five-star according to ESPN. ESPN ranks McCoy No. 2 among defensive linemen for the 2026 class, and No. 1 among recruits from Mississippi. Auburn has seven commits for its 2026 class, including four-star EDGE Hezekiah Harris.
