Billy Napier and the Florida football recruiting staff got some good news Tuesday morning when four-star safety Lagonza Hayward announced its top schools, which included the Gators.
The 6-foot-1-inch, 200-pound defenseman from Lyons (Georgia) Toombs County in the 2025 cycle received his offer from the Orange and Blue in January, with newly added DB coach Will Harris on the spot. Hayward has since set an official visit date with Napier and Co. for the weekend of June 14th – a slot was filled by Alabama Crimson Tide previous, but was lost as his relationship with the program improved.
Other Top Hayward Schools
O Florida State Seminoles, Georgia BulldogsSouth Carolina Gamecocks, Tennessee Volunteers, USC Trojans and Alabama comprise the remaining members of Hayward’s top schools.
He has three official visit dates set so far, with FSU (May 31), USC (June 7) and Vols (June 21) currently on his itinerary.
Recruitment Summary
Hayward is ranked 97th overall and 12th nationally, according to the 247Sports compound while the On3 Industry Classification has it at numbers 113 and 13, respectively.
On3’s recruiting prediction machine gives Tennessee a 50.1% chance of signing him, followed by Georgia (41.8%), FSU (3.0%) and Florida (1.5%).
