Most Recent Top Recruiting Classes

Led by QB Brock Berlin (pictured) -- who never won the starting job with the Gators and eventually transferred to Miami -- this class boasted solid players like TE Ben Troupe and DB Guss Scott, but didn't live up to its top ranking. The class finished with a 43-20 five-year record under Steve Spurrier (who left after the 2001 season) and Ron Zook. On the plus side for Gators' fans, the team's 7-5 record in '04 opened the door for Urban Meyer to take over.
