Florida Gators land 2028 four-star safety
The Florida Gators landed a commitment from four-star safety Cyion Smith on Saturday. He is a member of the 2028 recruiting cycle.
The Florida Gators announced the commitment of four-star safety Cyion Smith from Blountstown, Florida, on the eve of their game against Ole Miss Rebels. Smith, a member of the 2028 recruiting class, had previously pledged his allegiance to Mississippi State before deciding to join the Gators. The Bulldogs had offered him a scholarship eight days prior, but it was the Gators who ultimately secured his commitment.
Smith, currently ranked No. 279 overall and No. 30 safety in Rivals' industry ranking, is also the No. 37 player from Florida. In his junior season at Blountstown High School, he has demonstrated strong performance, racking up 24 tackles, 4.0 tackles for loss, three pass breakups, two forced fumbles, and a blocked kick. Additionally, he has caught seven passes for 201 yards and three touchdowns.
Smith's addition strengthens Florida's already impressive 2027 recruiting class, which ranks as the 8th-best in the country and 4th-best in the SEC.
