Florida has added another strong player to its impressive 2021 recruiting class.
On Friday, 4-star offensive tackle Yousef Mugharbil announced on Twitter that he has committed to the Gators. The 6-foot-4, 304-pounder currently attends Murphy (N.C.) High School and is the No. 266 overall recruit in the 2021 class, per the 247Sports Composite rankings.
Mugharbil received an offer from Florida on April 26. He chose the Gators over six other finalists: Louisville, North Carolina, North Carolina State, Penn State, Tennessee and Virginia Tech.
I would like to thank my family, my coaching staff, and my team for everything they have done throughout my recruitment. I wouldn’t be where I am today without them. With that being said, I am very excited to say that I am committed to the University of Florida??‼️ @GatorsFB pic.twitter.com/wmJOEZ2dJJ

The Gators now have 26 recruits in their 2021 class — one 5-star, 14 4-stars and 11 3-stars. They rank No. 8 in the nation in the 247Sports team rankings, as well as No. 4 in the SEC. Mugharbil is the top-rated offensive lineman in Florida’s class.
With the Gators off to a strong 3-1 start this season, they could be in position to keep their success going in the future with this top recruiting class, which may only get better as more recruits make their college decisions in the months to come.
