New On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine pick for Florida Gators

On Saturday evening, Gators Online submitted an On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine pick for Florida to land On300 linebacker Kris Jones. My confidence level for the pick is at 75 percent.

The Gators are currently hosting 17 official visitors, with Jones being one of the headliners in the group.

Jones, a four-star prospect from Fairfax (Va.) High, is the No. 15 linebacker and No. 149 prospect overall in the 2024 class. He is the top-ranked rising senior in Virginia as well. That’s all according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

I was previously on the fence about submitting a pick due to the upcoming OV to Georgia; however, I am told Florida is knocking it out of the park with his family this weekend. It’s been all positive buzz.

This latest batch of intel now has me comfortable enough to log a prediction for Florida, which already boasts one of the premier linebacker classes with Myles Graham and Adarius Hayes already in the fold.

With my prediction official, the Gators’ odds in the RPM are now up to 87 percent.

Kris Jones has seen everything Florida has to offer

It’s actually the school I’ve been leaning toward in recent weeks. Georgia is UF’s top competition and I don’t see that changing as long as Jones is on the market; however, the sense is that Florida is really separating itself this weekend. Much of that can be credited to Jones’ time reconnecting with the staff, especially Jay Bateman. It’s definitely been a group effort though.

Even before the visit, the All-American said Florida is the school he has the best relationship with. There is just a lot of comfort in Gainesville for Jones and his family. That upcoming trip to Athens, if he takes it, is something to definitely monitor, but the Gators are trending as the favorite right now.

That same source said Jones has relished his time meeting and hanging out with additional recruits. It has been red-carpet treatment from the staff, but the time spent with additional visitors continues to be a highlight as well.

Jones has visited UF four times and been all smiles during each experience, but this weekend is a different type of experience. I’m rolling with the Gators until I hear otherwise.

Stay tuned to Gators Online.
