In a significant boost to their roster, the Florida Gators men’s basketball team has secured a commitment from the nation’s No. 1 recruit, five-star shooting guard CJ Ingram. The 6-foot-5 standout from Hawthorne, Florida, chose the Gators over prominent programs such as Alabama, LSU, and Tennessee, signaling a new era for Florida basketball under head coach Todd Golden.
Ingram’s decision to stay in-state is a testament to the Gators’ growing appeal. Known for his explosive scoring ability, high basketball IQ, and relentless defensive presence, Ingram is expected to make an immediate impact for Florida in the 2025-26 season. His commitment adds to a stellar recruiting class that includes other top-tier talents.
With Ingram’s arrival, the Gators are poised to continue their ascent in college basketball, aiming for both SEC and national titles. Gators fans have plenty to be excited about, as their team has landed a superstar talent with the potential to lead them back to prominence.
