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

The Florida Gators are five seasons removed from their last 10-win campaign, but Billy Napier’s program managed to close the season with momentum. The Gators scored wins over LSU, Ole Miss and Florida State to finish at 7-5 and will take on Tulane in the Gasparilla Bowl on Dec. 20. Meanwhile, Napier is setting his sights on loftier goals in 2025 and is working the college football transfer portal hard to bolster his Florida football roster.

Napier has the 11th ranked recruiting class, but Florida’s more immediate needs will be addressed with experienced players in the portal.

Florida football transfer portal news, preview

The Gators will have heavy losses to replace at wide receiver, with Elijah Badger and Chimere Dike both exhausting their eligibility this season. The pair combined for nearly 1,500 yards in 2024 and averaged 21.3 and 19.1 yards per reception, respectively.

However, the Gators have already secured official visits from Miami (OH) receiver Reggie Virgil and ECU receiver Chase Sowell. Virgil had 41 catches for 816 yards and nine touchdowns in 2024, leading the MAC with 19.9 yards per reception. Meanwhile, Sowell has piled up at least 600 receiving yards in each of his two seasons with the Pirates.

Florida will play a brutal schedule in 2025, with road trips to LSU, Miami (FL), Texas A&M and Ole Miss on the docket, as well as home games against Texas, Georgia and Tennessee — who all made the College Football Playoff this season. So can Napier score a few talented playmakers to restock the cupboard at wide receiver and bring the Gators back to prominence? Get all the latest 2024 Florida football transfer portal updates at Swamp247.
