Florida Gators 2026 Transfer Portal Tracker

In this story:
GAINESVILLE, Fla.-- The Florida Gators are preparing for Year One of the Jon Sumrall era, making key changes to the roster through the NCAA Transfer Portal.
Sumrall, during his introductory press conference on Dec. 1, emphasized the need for Florida to retain key pieces of the roster but also explained the program would use the portal to address holes on the roster.
"We will use the transfer portal," he said. "If you've studied my rosters the last couple years, I haven't had the resources to keep very many of my good players. They all end up getting poached. So I've had to embrace the transfer portal probably more than most, maybe even more than I'd like to at times, by necessity. But we will use the portal to enhance our team and to supplement where there may be holes or deficiencies."

Here's a list of all of Florida's departures, retentions and additions. All transfer portal news from Florida Gators on SI can be read on the recruiting page of the site. The NCAA Transfer Portal officially closes on Jan. 16.
This story will be updated as more announcements are made.
