Florida’s 2027 soccer class will get a head start in Gainesville. The Gators announced Wednesday that seven players had signed and that all seven are expected to enroll in the spring. The group spans six states and adds depth at every line, including two goalkeepers.
The class includes midfielders Khari Hontz and Cali Smith, goalkeepers Molly McBride and Lily Venneri, defenders Brennan Moore and Ashley Scott, and forward Summer Riley. Hontz brings experience in the U.S. youth national team program. Scott helped TopHat win the 2026 Girls Academy U17 national title and was named the tournament’s MVP.
TopDrawerSoccer ranked the class No. 14 nationally. The early arrival gives coach Nick Zimmerman a spring to bring the newcomers into the group ahead of the 2027 season.
