In a significant development for college football recruiting, four-star wide receiver Joshua Moore has announced his commitment to the University of Florida, choosing the Gators over offers from Florida State University and the University of Georgia. This decision marks a notable shift in Moore’s recruitment, as he had previously visited Florida State for an official visit earlier in the month. However, a recent unofficial visit to Gainesville appears to have solidified his choice to join the Gators.
Moore, a standout at West Broward High School, had an impressive junior season, recording 50 receptions for 835 yards and nine touchdowns, leading his team to a playoff appearance. Standing at 6-foot-4 and weighing 205 pounds, Moore is recognized for his potential to become a dynamic playmaker at the collegiate level. According to 247Sports, he is ranked as the No. 196 overall prospect, the No. 25 wide receiver, and the No. 28 recruit in Florida for the 2025 class.
Florida State’s coaching staff had been actively pursuing Moore, with quarterback Tramell Jones Jr. and Moore developing a close relationship during the 7-on-7 circuit. Despite these efforts, Moore’s ties to Gainesville and his recent visit influenced his decision to commit to Florida. This commitment adds to the Gators’ strong recruiting momentum, as they continue to secure top talent for their 2025 class.
Moore’s commitment is a testament to Florida’s recruiting strategy and the appeal of their football program. As the Gators prepare for the upcoming seasons, securing a player of Moore’s caliber is expected to bolster their offensive capabilities and contribute to their pursuit of excellence in the Southeastern Conference.
