OVERRATED?: Is Florida Gators QB DJ Lagway Overrated Heading into 2025?

In the latest episode of Locked On Gators, host Brandon Olsen breaks down another significant recruiting win for Billy Napier and the Florida Gators as they continue to build a powerhouse 2026 class. This time, it’s the commitment of versatile 4-star prospect Heze Kent, who chose the Gators over the Texas Longhorns, Miami Hurricanes, and Florida State Seminoles. Kent, who plays both tight end and offensive tackle, brings a rare combination of athleticism, physicality, and positional flexibility that could make him one of the most valuable chess pieces in Florida’s future offensive plans. Brandon takes a deep dive into Kent’s skill set, highlighting his dominance in the run game, his improving pass protection ability, and his sneaky upside as a pass catcher if he remains at tight end. This commitment also marks another key victory in head-to-head recruiting battles against Florida’s biggest in-state rivals and one of the top programs in the country, signaling that the Gators are gaining serious traction on the recruiting trail. Brandon also explores how Kent fits into Florida’s offensive identity moving forward, whether as a developmental offensive tackle or a mauling tight end who can set the tone on the edge. The momentum continues to build in Gainesville, and Heze Kent’s commitment could be one of the most impactful additions yet.

COMMIT: Heze Kent COMMITS to the Florida Gators 2026 Recruiting Class

In the latest episode of Locked On Gators, host Brandon Olsen dives into a massive recruiting win for the Florida Gators as Billy Napier and his staff continue to build serious momentum on the trail. The Gators have secured the commitment of 2026 four-star EDGE Kevin “KJ” Ford, a premier pass rusher who chose Florida over powerhouse programs like the Alabama Crimson Tide, Ohio State Buckeyes, and Texas A&M Aggies. Brandon breaks down what makes Ford such a dominant defensive presence, from his explosive first step and elite bend off the edge to his relentless motor and ability to disrupt both the pass and run game. This episode takes a deeper look at how Ford fits into Florida’s evolving defensive identity, especially as the Gators continue to emphasize athleticism and versatility on the front seven. Brandon also discusses the significance of landing a nationally coveted recruit in a head-to-head battle with traditional recruiting juggernauts, and what it says about the credibility Florida is starting to reclaim under Napier. With KJ Ford now in the fold, Florida’s 2026 class is shaping up to be one of the strongest in the country, and this commitment could be a cornerstone for the future of the Gators’ defense.
