2025 class prospect Simona Fuailetolo confirms receiving offer from Billy Napier's Florida

2025 class offensive tackle Simona Fuailetolo is yet to be ranked by major recruiting channels. The senior attends Desert Hills High School in St. George, Utah.

Fuailetolo hasn’t received many offers, but he is gradually getting recognized among the college programs. On Tuesday, Florida became the latest school to offer him the Gator 2025 class, marking his sixth Division I offer.

Gators assistant offensive line coach Jonathan Decoster extended the scholarship, and Fuailetolo shared the news on X.

"After an amazing phone call with @BallCoach_D I am extremely grateful and blessed to say that I have received my 6th D1 offer from the University Of Florida! 🐊🐊 @GatorsFB @BossSkilllz @deserthillsfb #AllGloryToGod #GoGators."

Billy Napier's Florida kicked off the 2024 season with a 17-41 loss to Miami on Aug. 31, but the Gators bounced back in Week 2 and secured a 45-7 win against Samford last week. The program will witness its SEC opener on Saturday as it hosts the Texas A&M Aggies at 3:30 p.m. ET at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium.

Besides the excitement of the regular season, Florida is also keeping sights on its recruitment classes. The Gators have 14 prospects committed to the 2025 class, ranking No. 19 in the nation and No. 10 in the Southeastern Conference. However, they have yet to secure a commitment from an offensive tackle.

Along with Fuailetolo, the Gators have also extended offers to multiple prospects like Andrew Babalola, Tavaris Dice, Malachi Goodman, Nick Brooks, Owen Strebig, Aaron Dunn, Carde Smith and Austin Pay.

Simona Fuailetolo's recruitment update

Simona Fuailetolo's first offer arrived from Idaho State in May and then from Utah State. As summer progressed, he earned an offer from Southern Utah after attending a camp in June. He also received offers from Weber State and Utah Tech that month.

Utah Tech seems to be the frontrunner in the race for his commitment, as the in-state program holds a 22.2% chance of securing Fuailetolo, according to On3’s Recruiting Prediction Machine. Southern Utah is close behind with a 19.4% chance, followed by Weber State at 16.7%. Despite being one of his earliest offers, Utah State has a 13.9% chance of landing the recruit.
