A glimpse at Florida football's blue-chip quarterback ahead of 2025 Elite 11 Finals
A glimpse at Florida football's blue-chip quarterback ahead of 2025 Elite 11 Finals The 2025 edition of the Elite 11 Finals — a showcase of 20 soon-to-be high school senior quarterbacks who travel to Los Angeles for three days of competition against other top quarterback talents — kicks off on Tuesday, and the list of participants includes one of Florida football's top-rated prep prospects. Quarterback Will Griffin, a four-star gunslinger out of Tampa (Florida) Jesuit, is one of three Sunshine State products included in the event as well as one of a trio of recruits committed to a Southeastern Conference school. 247Sports' Andrew Ivins provides a quick breakdown of the Gators' future under center ahead of the Elite 11 Finals start. "Enters senior year with 46 varsity starts under his belt, making him one of the most experienced quarterbacks in the class. Built like Tim Tebow, but wants to win more times than not with his arm. Finished regional on a high note as he was lights out in the red zone." Ivins notes that Griffin reminds him most of former Iowa State Cyclones quarterback Hunter Dekkers, who played college from 2020 to 2022 in Ames and signed with the New Orleans Saints after college as an undrafted free agent. 2025 Elite 11 finalists by state California - 3 Texas - 3 Florida - 3 Ohio - 1 Nebraska -1 Indiana - 1 Georgia - 1 Utah - 1 New Jersey - 1 North Carolina - 1 Arizona - 1 Tennessee - 1 2025 Elite 11 finalists by conference committed ACC - 5 SEC - 3 Big Ten - 3 Big 12 - 3 Elite 11 History 16 of the last 17 QBs to win the Heisman Trophy attended Elite 11 finals or regionals The last three Heisman Trophy-winning QBs were Elite 11 finalists Twelve of the last 13 QBs to go No. 1 overall in NFL draft attended Elite 11 finals or regionals Follow us @GatorsWire on X, formerly known as Twitter, as well as Bluesky, and like our page on Facebook to follow ongoing coverage of Florida Gators news, notes and opinions.

SEC underdogs: Three most underrated football teams heading into 2025
SEC underdogs: Three most underrated football teams heading into 2025 Despite 11 teams in the Southeastern Conference being ranked in the top-20 odds to win the 2025 College Football Playoff National Championship, including the Texas A&M Aggies (+3000), there are many dark-horse programs in the league entering a new campaign with a chip on their shoulder. Whether it be from the transfer portal or those moving up the depth charts, many players in the SEC are hoping to make a good first impression for their respective programs, while others are looking to silence any doubters and prove they belong. Five of the projected starting quarterbacks in the SEC are transfers who will get their first starts at the helm for their programs. That is a sentiment for the plethora of new faces in the league who will be under the national spotlight this season. Not to mention, there are coaches around the conference who are clinging to hope and trying to retain their jobs this season, as the hot seat continues to spark for those underperforming. Chances are that is where the true underdogs are sitting heading into 2025. With kickoff a mere 73 days away, here are the three most underrated programs in the SEC this year: Can we just talk about the job head coach Clark Lea and his quarterback Diego Pavia did last season? I do not think it is emphasized enough just how important Lea and Pavia's contributions were for the Commodores last season, as they helped lead the program to its first bowl game win since 2013. The talk of any potential outstanding success from Vanderbilt this season has simmered down, but there is an opportunity for back-to-back bowl game appearances for the Dores. With Pavia's return at the helm and tight end Eli Stowers opting not to enter the NFL Draft and return to Nashville, Tennessee, for another season in the Black and Gold, the reconstructed and improved offensive line could help the program repeat in 2025. There is a world where Vanderbilt enters Week 6 with four or five wins. 2025 schedule: 8/30 - Charleston Southern 9/6 - at Virginia Tech 9/13 - at South Carolina 9/20 - Georgia State 9/27 - Utah State 10/4 - at Alabama 10/18 - LSU 10/25 - Missouri 11/1 - at Texas 11/8 - Auburn 11/22 - Kentucky 11/29 - at Tennessee Even with back-to-back 10-win seasons under his belt, Missouri Tigers head coach Eli Drinkwitz is at the helm of one of the most underrated teams in football heading into this year's campaign. The loss of offensive production with the departures of wide receiver Luther Burden III and quarterback Brady Cook is not to be overstated, but the addition of former Penn State signal-caller Beau Pribula and Mississippi State transfer wideout Kevin Coleman Jr. should help rebuild the lost pieces. Missouri's defensive unit could also find itself nearing one of the top 20 units in the country with star linebackers Josiah Trotter (Big 12 Freshman of the Year at West Virginia) and Triston Newson rounding out the Tigers' linebacking corps. Besides the lack of depth, the manageable schedule has me questioning why this program is not considered to win more than eight games. 2025 schedule: 8/28 - Central Arkansas 9/6 - Kansas 9/13 - Louisiana 9/20 - South Carolina 9/27 - UMass 10/11 - Alabama 10/18 - at Auburn 10/25 - at Vanderbilt 11/8 - Texas A&M 11/15 - Mississippi State 11/22 - at Oklahoma 11/29 - at Arkansas Regarding those upper-echelon ranked teams in the SEC this season, the Texas A&M Aggies are an underdog that could really make a splash in the league. With a talented roster that includes sophomore quarterback Marcel Reed, who has the potential to be one of the top gunslingers in the country this season, the football program in Bryan-College Station, Texas, could be one of the most overlooked teams in the nation. Not to mention, head coach Mike Elko is a defensive genius who will find ways to replace the likes of Shemar Turner, Shemar Stewart and Nic Scourton, all of whom were selected in the 2025 NFL Draft. Tough road games against Notre Dame and Texas will provide some difficulties for the Aggies, but overall they should well-exceed expectations predicted on most outlets. 2025 schedule: 8/30 - UTSA 9/6 - Utah State 9/13 - at Notre Dame 9/27 - Auburn 10/4 - Mississippi State 10/11 - Florida 10/18 - at Arkansas 10/25 - at LSU 11/8 - at Missouri 11/15 - South Carolina 11/22 - Samford 11/28 - at Texas Contact/Follow us @AggiesWire on X (formerly Twitter) and like our page on Facebook to follow ongoing coverage of Texas A&M news, notes and opinions.

4-star WR Marquez Daniel commits to Florida on official visit
Marquez Daniel, a four-star receiver who had offers from schools throughout the Southeastern Conference, committed to Florida's Class of 2026 on Saturday. Daniel plays at Booker T. Washington High School in Tuskegee, Ala. He took an official visit with the Gators on Friday, and officially visited Auburn last week. "What makes Florida stand out to me are the coaching staff," Daniel told On3. "Coach (Billy) Napier is really a great coach. Told me from day one that I will be a great student-athlete and he believed in me." Daniel is the No. 25 wide receiver in the nation, as ranked by the 247Sports composite. The 6-foot-5, 200-pound Daniel gives the Gators nine players committed to the 2026 class, with Daniel holding the highest ranking among them.
