Four-star safety Kenaz Sullivan has scheduled an official visit to Florida for May 28 as the Gators continue building on recruiting momentum that has landed their 2027 class at No. 6 in the 247Sports team rankings.
The program is trying to lure one of the top defensive backs in the cycle as Chris Collins’ unit is under reconstruction. The Virginia native has emerged as a major national recruit, garnering offers from Florida, Ohio State, Tennessee, Penn State and other Power Four programs.
Several recruiting powers are applying pressure for the 6-foot, 195-pound prospect from The St. James Academy in Virginia, but Florida remains firmly in the mix. Leading the charge for Sullivan is Ohio State, which has hosted the No. 28 safety multiple times already. The visit in late May is very significant for Jon Sumrall and staff as they prioritize blue-chip talent across the south and southeastern region.
Kenaz Sullivan’s recruiting summary
Sullivan is ranked No. 291 overall and No. 28 at his position according to 247Sports composite. On3/Rivals industry rankings slate him at No. 236 and No. 21, respectively. He has 39 standing offers, including seven from SEC programs, among them Tennessee, Georgia and Alabama.
Ohio State currently leads the pack for the blue-chip safety’s commitment with a 22% probability, followed by Florida at 19.3%, Maryland at 8.6%, Tennessee at 7.2% and Virginia at 7.2%.
