Looking at Florida's first two full signing classes under Billy Napier, it is becoming crystal clear what the Gators' recruiting footprint looks like.

However, while offers may go out across the nation this time of the year, through spring ball and into the summer and fall - when it comes to actually bringing prospects in on official visits, the map tightens up quite a bit.
Florida brought in 102 prospects over the last two recruiting cycles on official visits. These are where those high school prospects came from. There are really only two extreme outliers: Jadan Rashada out of California (remember Maurice Rodrigues and Quincy Ivory were JUCO visitors) and Eric Karner out of Illinois.
When it comes to actual high school signees, the footprint becomes even smaller. Note: The map does not include Noel Portnjagin (Germany), Brien Taylor Jr., and Quincy Ivory (JUCO out of Texas and Cali).
