Florida football added to its 2026 class on Tuesday with the addition of 4-star safety Kaiden Hall, who hails from Milton High School in Milton, Florida – just outside of Pensacola on the Florida panhandle.
And the Gators beat out a slew of top programs for Hall’s services. Florida was able to edge the likes of Alabama, Florida State and Oklahoma, but also outdid offers from Texas A&M, Tennessee, Auburn… you get the picture.

As mentioned in the post above, Hall stands at 6-3, 200 pounds and best projects as a safety/defensive back at the college level, though he also saw some time on offense for his high school. According to 247Sports Director of Scouting Andrew Ivins, Hall is viewed as a potential “multi-year contributor at the Power Four level.”
Hall’s ratings as a prospect are impressive. He’s considered to be the No. 170 overall prospect in the country for the Class of 2026, as well as the No. 14 safety and No. 24 player out of Florida.
This is a win the Gators needed badly as far as the recruiting trail is concerned. Hall is only the 4th high school prospect to commit to the Gators alongside 4-star QB Will Griffin, 3-star DL Jamir Perez and 3-star OG G’Nivre Carr.
