Florida football picked up its 11th and 12th commitments for the 2026 class, landing a pledges from three-star offensive tackle Javarii Luckas and three-star offensive tackle Tyler Chukuyem on June 16.
The 6-foot-5, 305-pound Luckas, from Glades Central High in Belle Glade, chose the Florida Gators over offers from USF, West Virginia, FIU and Florida Atlantic. Per 247 Sports, Luckas is rated as the 97th-best offensive tackle in the 2026 class.
Chukuyem (6-6, 290) is a three-star recruit from Douglasville, Ga., rated as the 36th-best tackle and 554th-best prospect in the 2026 class. He chose Florida over offers from Florida State, Cincinnati, Ole Miss and Appalachian State.
Luckas joins St. Pete Lakewood offensive lineman Chancellor Campbell and IMG Academy guard G’Nivre Carr as the third and fourth offensive line commitments in UF’s 2026 class.
Under offensive line coach Rob Sale, Florida has produced two offensive line All-Americans in three seasons ― right guard O’Cyrus Torrence (2022) and center Jake Slaughter (2024). UF returns four starters, including Slaughter, on its offensive line for the 2025 season.
Luckas took his official visit to UF on May 30. Here’s more information about him, courtesy of of Gannett Florida’s USA Today recruiting database:

Scouting report: Luckas is a project of a prospect. His size is undeniable, but his strength, movement, and technique are not to the level of his peers yet. The foundations are there, but he struggles to handle even smaller defenders and takes a while to generate momentum from his base.
