Syracuse football has landed another transfer as West Florida linebacker Khalib Gilmore committed to the Orange following an official visit over the weekend, he announced on social media. Gilmore is listed at 6-4, 225 pounds. He picked Syracuse over Temple, Marshall, Georgia State, South Florida, Florida Atlantic and others. Gilmore has two seasons of eligibility remaining. 

"Loved how big coach Babers and everyone is one family," Gilmore said. "They didn't official offer me until I came up but once I came they treated my family and I like their own. Also love the 3-3-5." 

During the 2022 season, Gilmore missed several games due to injury. He did rack up 40 tackles, three tackles for loss, three sacks, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery in six games. 

Gilmore is the seventh player to join Syracuse from the transfer portal this offseason. He joins defensive back Jayden Bellamy (Notre Dame), long snapper Tom Callahan (Fordham), defensive back Jaeden Gould (Nebraska), defensive tackle Braylen Ingraham (Alabama), offensive lineman Joe More (Richmond) and punter Jack Stonehouse (Missouri). The Orange has also lost several players to the portal include safety Ja'Had Carter, cornerback Duce Chestnut, wide receiver Dom Foster, defensive lineman Josh Hough, wide receiver Courtney Jackson, defensive lineman Steve Linton, offensive lineman Tyler Magnuson, wide receiver Anthony Queeley and offensive lineman Chad Schuster. 

Wide receiver Damien Alford and defensive back Jeremiah Wilson both entered the portal, but subsequently withdrew their names.

Title: Publisher All Syracuse Education: Roberts Wesleyan College Location: Syracuse, New York Expertise: Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting.  EXPERIENCE Mike McAllister has been covering Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting for more than a decade. Mike's career started with his own free blog as a way to vent following sporting events. Shortly thereafter, a network of basketball sites called Coast 2 Coast Hoops asked him to run their Syracuse site. That site was called Nation of Orange, and Mike quickly established it as a go-to for Syracuse fans.  After running Nation of Orange for several months, a position with the Syracuse site on the Scout network became available. After one year as the recruiting expert with Cuse Nation, he was named the publisher. Mike oversaw the transition from Scout to 247Sports, and ran the site on that network for years.  Presented with the opportunity to join one of the biggest names in the sports journalism industry, Sports Illustrated, Mike jumped at the chance. All Syracuse was started from scratch by Mike and the Fan Nation team. It has now become a staple for Orange fans of various sports.  Mike has broken news on recruiting, Syracuse basketball and football team information and has established himself as the top recruiting inside in the market. He has appeared on local radio shows, television broadcasts, national radio shows and much more. Mr. McAllister has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounting and Information Management from Roberts Wesleyan College.
