Height: 6-4

Weight: 275

Position: defensive lineman

247 Ranking: 4-star

Recruited by: Gerald Chatman

Enrollment date: Summer of 2025

Notable:  Mbatchou just started playing football this year and the Cameroon native has always been a basketball player. Mbatchou is a guy with a high ceiling as he’s still learning the game of football but he’s someone the Gators noticed early and they love his ability.

Quotable: “Just them getting off quicker and getting to the ball while being more violent,” Mbatchou said on Florida’s defense. “I think the defense did a good job doing that this game and it really showed because the quarterback had no place to go. Once the fourth quarter rolled around LSU just couldn’t handle them anymore, they couldn’t stop them.”
