Florida football transfer tracker as Jon Sumrall builds first roster

The Florida football 2025 roster remains a work in progress.
Coming off a 4-8 season, changes are in store as the Florida Gators enter a new era under first-year coach Jon Sumrall.
Already, more than 20 Florida players have announced their intentions to enter the portal, including starting quarterback DJ Lagway, starting wide receiver Eugene Wilson III, starting tight end Hayden Hansen, starting safety Jordan Castell and starting defensive tackle Michai Boireau.
The FBS transfer portal opens Friday, January 2, and runs through Friday, January 16, a window in which players can officially be in contact with other schools. Florida players who are in the portal can re-sign with UF during that time or choose to sign with other schools.
Florida will likely be in the market for at least one more quarterback, along with help to fill holes on the offensive and defensive lines, at punter and kicker and in the secondary.
