Florida football transfer portal 2024: News, announcements, players to watch, targets, needs, plus recruiting

The Florida Gators seemed to find their identity late in the year after a 4-5 start and enter the 2024 Gasparilla Bowl on a three-game win streak. Billy Napier’s crew knocked off a pair of ranked teams, LSU and Ole Miss, and rolled over Florida State in a rivalry game. Florida could be very active with the 2024 college football transfer portal as it builds around quarterback DJ Lagway. The Gators’ 2025 incoming Florida football recruiting class is ranked No. 11 overall by 247Sports. So far, its 23 commits are all freshmen, but the college football transfer portal is where you can find players who can impact a team from day one.

Florida football transfer portal news, preview

One clear area of emphasis for Napier during this transfer portal window will be the quarterback position. While Lagway is the present and future of the position, having quality depth is needed with Graham Mertz’ eligibility coming to an end. Additionally, Lagway was nicked up during his freshman year, as a hamstring injury sidelined him for a November loss to Texas.

Fortunately, Florida has been aggressive in targeting one of the top college football transfer quarterbacks in Deshawn Purdie. He spent his freshman year at Charlotte last season and showed off his big-play potential. Purdie averaged 18 yards per completion, which not only led the American conference but topped all of FBS. For comparison, Ole Miss’ Jaxson Dart topped the SEC with 15.6 yards per completion.

Purdie was a three-star coming out of high school and is the 28th-ranked quarterback in the transfer portal, per 247Sports. He would immediately rocket up the Florida depth chart as the rest of the quarterback room, outside of Lagway, consists of walk-ons, as well as Aidan Warner, who had zero touchdowns versus three picks last year. Purdie has an official visit set with the Gators, and a marriage between the two could be beneficial for both parties. Get all the latest 2024 Florida football transfer portal updates at Swamp247.
