Florida Gators fans have a chance to land a top offensive lineman, Shadre Hurst, from former head coach Jon Sumralls team at Tulane. Hurst, a two-time First Team all-American Athletic Conference honoree, brings 36 career starts and impressive stats to the table.

Florida, with its departing guards, could benefit from Hursts experience and grades. Sumralls connection to Hurst makes him a prime target for the Gators in the transfer portal.

Florida Gators Promote Young Coach DaeOne Wilkins to Nickelbacks Role: A Rising Star in SEC Defense

Jamroc Grimsley, a four-star cornerback, is leaving Florida Gators after two seasons, entering the transfer portal. Despite limited action, he has potential. The Gators offseason exodus, with 22 players leaving, including 19 on scholarship, has hit both offense and defense hard. As they rebuild, monitor their portal moves for a glimpse of their comeback strategy.

Dukes standout running backs coach, Chris Foster, is joining Jon Sumralls staff at Florida. Fosters impressive track record at Duke, where he coached running backs Nate Sheppard and Anderson Castle to over 1400 rushing yards and 21 touchdowns, earned him a Broyles Award nomination. With a career spanning over a decade, Foster has coached several NFL talents, including East Carolinas Keaton Mitchell and Georgia Southerns Matt Breida. This hire strengthens Floridas offense as they prepare for significant changes in the SEC.

Aaron Chiles, Florida Gators linebacker, returns for his junior year, citing love for the university, team, and fans. He had a strong sophomore season, and new head coach Billy Sumralls influence played a role in his decision. Chiles joins teammate Myles Graham in returning, providing a formidable duo for incoming defensive coordinator Brad White and inside linebackers coach Greg Gasparato. The team is also working to retain other talents, shaping up for a tough season ahead.

Florida Gators star wide receiver, Eugene Tre Wilson III, a sophomore standout, has entered the transfer portal. The five-star recruit from the class of 2023, known for his impressive stats (107 catches, 1043 yards, 10 TDs), is leaving Gainesville after three memorable years. His departure, along with other departing wideouts, leaves the Gators offense in a challenging position. With two years of eligibility remaining, Wilson is expected to have numerous suitors in the transfer portal.

Exciting news for Florida Gators fans: Dijon Johnson, defensive back, is returning for his senior season after missing most of 2025 due to a knee injury. He aims to bring a veteran spark to the new defensive unit, targeting first-team All-Southeast Conference and All-American honors. Meanwhile, teammates Eugene Wilson, Jordan Castell, Josiah Davis, and Teddy Foster are leaving, but the Gators recruiting class is strong, and they plan to build back stronger for the next season.

Florida Gators Wide Receiver Eugene Wilson III Transfers, Leaving a Hole in the Receiving Corps The Florida Gators are losing another key player to the transfer portal, as wide receiver Eugene Wilson III plans to seek a fresh start elsewhere. Wilson, a top twenty-four-star prospect, showed flashes of brilliance early on but was plagued by injuries, including hip surgery and a season-ending ankle injury. He finished with 1,043 receiving yards and ten total touchdowns, including 239 yards and three scores last season. With six wide receivers departing, the Gators will need to rely on Dallas Wilson and Vernell Brown III if they stay. This roster shake-up means a very different Gators squad next season, but their strong recruiting class and the transfer portal offer opportunities to rebuild.
