Florida football picked up its 13th commitment of the 2026 class, landing a pledge from four-star cornerback CJ Bronaugh from Windemere High School.
Bronaugh recently de-committed from Nebraska and is considered one of the top rising cornerbacks in the 2024 class. He also had offers from Florida State, Arkansas and Baylor, but for now, has chosen to stay closer to home to play for the Florida Gators.
"Ascending defensive back prospect with some of the best speed markers in the class," wrote Andrew Ivins, director of scouting for 247 Sports. "Hasn’t faced the stiffest competition to date but turned heads spring before senior year at an Under Armour Next Camp in Orlando where he not only tested off the charts, but also locked down one side of the field in coverage."
Bronaugh joins Milton safety Kaiden Hall as the second defensive back commitment in UF's 2026 class.
Here's more information on Bronaugh, courtesy of Courtesy of Gannett Florida USA Today recruiting database:
School: Windermere
Height, Weight: 6-1, 166 pounds
2024 Stats: 30 tackles, 3 TFL, 2 sacks, 6 INTs, 4 passes defended, 1 FF, 1 blocked kick (MaxPreps)
Honors: 2025 Under Armour Next Camp DB MVP (Orlando)
USA Today Florida Network Ranking: No. 22 (No. 3 cornerback)
USA Today Florida Network Star Rating: 4 ★★★★
USA Today Florida Network grade: 89.25
247Sports Composite: 4 star, No. 12 player in Florida, No. 12 CB in the nation
Scouting report: Nobody in the state has boosted their stock this offseason like Bronaugh has. The Huskers will do everything in their power to hold on to Bronaugh, who has reeled in offers from Miami, Oregon, Florida, and North Carolina since the start of the new year. His electric speed is his biggest plus. He is a state champion track athlete and ran a 4.39 40-yard dash at UA Next Orlando while dominating matchups in 1-on-1 drills. He’s a ball-hawk that baits and punishes bad throws.
