The Florida Gators football continue to produce NFL talent, and early projections for the 2027 NFL Draft suggest several current players could emerge as prospects. Here’s a short breakdown of names and themes to watch:

Florida players to watch for 2027 NFL Draft
Florida’s roster under new coach Jon Sumrall is expected to lean heavily on player development, which could boost draft stock across multiple positions.
Eugene Wilson III (WR)
A dynamic playmaker, Wilson has already flashed big-play ability early in his college career. If his production climbs, he could be one of Florida’s top offensive prospects and a potential early-round pick.
Kelby Collins (DL)
Known for his size and versatility on the defensive line, Collins has the physical tools NFL scouts look for. A strong 2026 season could elevate him into serious draft conversations.
Jordan Castell (S)
Castell is an instinctive defensive back with range and tackling ability. Continued development in coverage could make him one of the more intriguing defensive prospects from the Gators.
Other emerging names
Florida’s depth means additional underclassmen could rise quickly, especially given the program’s track record of sending players to the league and developing late-round gems.

Big picture
Florida is coming off a strong 2026 draft showing—with players selected in every round—highlighting the program’s ability to produce NFL-ready talent.
Looking ahead, the 2027 class will depend heavily on player development and on-field performance in 2026, but the foundation is there for multiple Gators to hear their names called again.
