Here is the Florida Gator recruiting class of 2011, ranked number 11 in the country, and was probably the best class under Will Muschamp. The Gators took in 19 recruits. As of December 2012, six have transferred out, three have not yet accrued any statistics, and one has barely registered any stats. Both QBs transferred out, and the star of this class was All American punter, Kyle Christy. This class had 9 ESPN top 150 athletes, with 6 on offense. Only 2 of them finished football careers with the Gators. The remainder transferred at some point.
This class had 1 five-star, 16 four-star, and 11 three-star athletes. 9 athletes transferred out of this class (1 five-star, 6 four-star, and two three-star), and one player medically retired.
