Florida has landed on the short list for one of the Southeast’s bigger offensive line targets.
Interior offensive lineman Jordan Agbanoma, listed at 6-foot-4 and 315 pounds, told On3’s Hayes Fawcett that the Gators are in his top five. Agbanoma is a Georgia-area prospect, putting Florida in direct competition with programs that typically protect in-state ground.
The appeal for Florida is straightforward. The Gators are still building needed depth and consistency up front, and an interior lineman with Agbanoma’s size fits the profile of a player who could compete early while also developing into a long-term starter.
Agbanoma’s top-five inclusion does not signal a commitment, but it does confirm Florida remains a factor in his recruitment. For Billy Napier’s staff, the next steps are clear: keep Florida positioned for official visit season, continue relationship work, and show a direct plan for how Agbanoma would be used in Gainesville.
Florida’s pitch will likely center on opportunity and development. The Gators have emphasized line play in recent cycles, and adding a true interior body with power potential would be a practical roster move, especially as the SEC continues to trend toward heavier fronts and deeper defensive line rotations.
Agbanoma’s announcement, shared through Fawcett on Thursday, keeps Florida in the conversation for a prospect coming out of what the original report described as “Dawg territory.” Whether the Gators can turn that presence into a commitment will come down to visits, fit, and how Florida finishes on the field this fall.
