Florida is continuing to make significant progress in the class of 2027.

On Wednesday morning, the Gators picked up a commitment from 3-star defensive lineman Stive-Bentley Keumajou. He chose the Gators over other top programs such as Georgia, Miami and Texas, among others.

“Built in Homerton. Proven in Florida,” Keumajou told Rivals’ Hayes Fawcett.

Keumajou is a big-time addition for the Gators. He’s currently ranked as the No. 540 overall player and the No. 64 defensive lineman in the nation for the 2027 cycle, per 247Sports Composite rankings.

However, most of his power-conference offers have come since the calendar flipped to 2026, so it’s possible he’ll fly up the rankings once more scouts are able to evaluate his game this offseason and throughout his senior year of high school football.

Keumajou attends Coral Gables High School in Miami, Florida. He’s listed at 6-foot-2, 295 pounds. He’s regarded as the No. 47 prospect in the Sunshine State for this cycle.

Keumajou is the 3rd prospect in the class of 2027 to publicly commit to Florida this week, joining 4-star offensive lineman Elijah Hutcheson and 3-star defensive back Kailib Dillard. Florida now has the No. 8-ranked class in the country, per 247Sports Composite rankings.
