Florida football was able to get 20 signatures during the first day of the Early Signing Period and avoided any bad surprises on the trail.

Whether it be lack of playing time, NIL somewhere else, or any other reason, the transfer portal has gotten much more popular in the last few years, and Florida hasn’t been immune to it.
