Florida defensive line commit Stive-Bentley Keumajou Yondui has reclassified from the 2027 class to the 2026 class.
Keumajou Yondui committed to Florida in May following a standout junior year at Coral Gables High in Miami. An English native, he came to the United States in the summer of 2025. Just over a year later, Keumajou Yondui is set to enroll at the University of Florida and participate in fall camp with the Gators.
With a host of upperclassmen defensive linemen on the roster, Florida can use 2026 to help Keumajou Yondui develop. He possesses some rare physical traits, standing at 6-foot-4-inches and 295 pounds with an 81-inch wingspan. He’s already starting to show some finesse traits after leaning on his raw ability early in his career.
After reclassifying, Keumajou Yondui sits at No. 731 nationally and No. 84 among defensive linemen on the 247Sports composite rankings for the class of 2026. He does not have a ranking on the site’s standalone list, but he maintained a three-star grade.
ESPN and Rivals also grade him out as a three-star recruit, with the latter ranking him No. 105 at his position. The Rivals industry ranking, which considers all three major recruiting services equally, puts him at No. 640 overall and No. 68 among defensive linemen.
Keumajou Yondui visited Florida three times in as many months. He initially toured The Swamp in early March and returned for the spring game in April. His official visit came at the end of May, a few weeks after his commitment.
Auburn was the other major player in his recruitment, getting him on campus twice. The Miami Hurricanes were the other team in his top three, with Keumajou Yondui being just 10 minutes away.
Florida now has nine rostered scholarship defensive linemen: seniors Jamari Lyons and Emmanuel Oyebadejo; juniors Brendan Bett, Mason Clinton and DK Kalu; sophomores Joseph Mbatchou and Jermamiah McCloud; and freshmen Kendall Guervill alongside Keymajou Yondui.
