In a surprising turn of events, Dallas Wilson, a five-star wide receiver from Tampa, Florida, has officially flipped his commitment from the Oregon Ducks to the Florida Gators. This decision marks a significant shift in the 2025 recruiting landscape and adds a major asset to Florida’s roster.
Wilson, who had been committed to Oregon since January 2023, requested his release from the Ducks due to personal circumstances, specifically wanting to be closer to a sick family member. His move comes shortly after he visited Florida, where he was impressed by the Gators’ program and atmosphere during a recent game against LSU.
Standing at 6 feet 3 inches and weighing 195 pounds, Wilson is ranked as the nation’s No. 2 wide receiver and No. 20 overall player in the 247Sports Composite rankings. His signing significantly boosts Florida’s recruiting class, which now ranks No. 10 nationally, making him the Gators’ only five-star recruit for this cycle.
This flip is particularly impactful for Florida head coach Billy Napier, who has successfully secured several high-profile recruits recently. Wilson’s addition strengthens Florida’s receiving corps, which lost key players to transfers last season. The Gators are looking to build a formidable offense around incoming quarterback DJ Lagway, with Wilson expected to play a crucial role.
Meanwhile, Oregon is left to regroup after losing one of its top prospects but still boasts a strong recruiting class that includes three other five-star athletes. The Ducks will need to focus on retaining their remaining commitments as they prepare for the upcoming season.
