Catholic's Wilson Hodges (17) blocks as Catholic's Caleb McCreary (1) fights for yardage against Booker T. Washington's Marquez Daniel (4) during AHSAA Semi-Final Playoff action on the Catholic campus in Montgomery, Ala., on Friday December 1, 2023.

Marquez Daniel, a four-star receiver who had offers from schools throughout the Southeastern Conference, committed to Florida's Class of 2026 on Saturday.

Daniel plays at Booker T. Washington High School in Tuskegee, Ala. He took an official visit with the Gators on Friday, and officially visited Auburn last week.

"What makes Florida stand out to me are the coaching staff," Daniel told On3. "Coach (Billy) Napier is really a great coach. Told me from day one that I will be a great student-athlete and he believed in me."

Daniel is the No. 25 wide receiver in the nation, as ranked by the 247Sports composite.

The 6-foot-5, 200-pound Daniel gives the Gators nine players committed to the 2026 class, with Daniel holding the highest ranking among them.

Also committing this weekend was Carsyn Baker, a three-star running back prospect from Langston Hughes High School in Fairburn, Ga.
