Syracuse Lands West Florida Transfer Khalib Gilmore
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.
