Kharim Hughley — QB, Class of 2027 The Clemson commitment produced 41 total touchdowns and gives Gainesville an experienced passer who can create after the pocket breaks down. Nigel Newkirk — RB, Class of 2027 The Alabama commitment ran for 1,496 yards and 19 touchdowns. His recovery from a postseason knee injury must still be monitored. Dwight Lewis Jr. — RB, Class of 2028 Lewis ran for 1,082 yards and 11 touchdowns as a sophomore, giving Gainesville proven depth while Newkirk works back. Tyler Ford — OL, Class of 2027 The Miami commitment played left tackle for Gainesville in 2025 and gives Hughley a Power Four prospect protecting the edge. Bryson Hurt — IOL, Class of 2027 Hurt committed to NC State in June, giving Gainesville a second Power Four offensive-line commitment. Jeremiah Proctor — DB/LB, Class of 2027 Proctor is committed to Pitt, which recruited him as a linebacker, while Gainesville has used him as a defensive back and athlete. That versatility gives the Red Elephants another defender who can match up in space or play closer to the line. Darryn Williams — LB, Class of 2027 Williams recorded 88 tackles and six interceptions last season, making him Gainesville’s established defensive producer.
