After posting losing records in his first two seasons at the helm, Billy Napier guided the Florida Gators back to winning ways in his third season in Gainesville. The Gators won their final three games of the season, beating LSU, Ole Miss and Florida State to salvage a 7-5 record. Florida will wrap up its season by taking on Tulane in the Gasparilla Bowl on Dec. 20. However, the expectations are higher than the Gasparilla Bowl, and Napier will need to hit the 2024 college football transfer portal hard in the coming weeks to surround true freshman quarterback DJ Lagway with the talent needed to compete in the SEC.
Rebuilding the Florida football roster can happen quickly in today’s college football, with NIL money and immediate transfer eligibility allowing programs to land experienced and talented players in mass. Who will Napier and the Gators target on the college football transfer board and who will leave the program in the coming weeks?

Florida football transfer portal news, preview
In DJ Lagway’s first season at Florida, the freshman completed 59.2% of his passes for 1,610 yards, 11 touchdowns and seven interceptions. He led the Gators to three consecutive wins to end the regular season, so optimism will be high heading into the 2025 college football season.
Napier and the Gators will make it a point of emphasis to get Lagway playmakers on the outside this offseason. Senior wide receiver Elijhah Badger led the Gators in receiving this season with 789 yards, so that production will need to be replaced immediately.
Florida has identified several wide receivers who can be difference-makers, including Miami (OH) wideout Reggie Virgil. Virgil has been with Miami (OH) for the last three seasons and was extremely productive for the RedHawks in 2024. He hauled in 41 catches for 816 yards and nine touchdowns in 2024, helping Miami (OH) reach the 2024 MAC Championship Game. Virgil averaged 19.9 yards per reception this season, which ranked ninth-best in the nation among wide receivers with at least 40 targets.
