The transfer portal is now closed for Florida football players, marking the end of the window for anyone to enter. In total, 17 Gators from the 2024 roster have entered the portal, which is a decrease from the 23 players who left last offseason.
Some of these departures were expected, while others could have impacted the team more significantly. Below is a ranking of the losses from least to most detrimental:
#17 – Parker Leise (QB)
Despite his background at IMG, Leise was unlikely to see the field, sitting as the fifth-string quarterback. He didn’t make any appearances in 2024, even when other quarterbacks were injured.
#16 – Andre Morris (DL)
A walk-on from Tampa Jesuit, Morris never played a snap in his two years with the Gators.
#15 – Bryce Capers (DL)
Capers joined as a walk-on and played in three games but didn’t record any tackles during his time at Florida.
#14 – Zak Sedaros (WR)
Sedaros was another walk-on who saw limited action, playing in just two games in three years, although he had notable speed, including a 10.61-second 100-meter dash in high school.
#13 – Christian Williams (OL)
Williams, a low-rated three-star recruit, made occasional appearances but never became a regular part of the offensive line rotation.
#12 – Mike Williams (OL)
Standing 6’6″, Mike Williams had potential as a long-term project but left after just one year, despite not being a top-rated prospect.
#11 – Deuce Spurlock (LB)
After transferring from Michigan in 2023, Spurlock was expected to add depth, but he played sparingly in 2023 and not at all in 2024.
#10 – Quincy Ivory (DL)
Ivory, who had a strong sack record at East Los Angeles CC, never broke into Florida’s defensive lineup, though he contributed on special teams in 2024.
#9 – Gavin Hill (TE)
A former four-star recruit from the class of 2023, Hill never played a snap at Florida. Given the Gators’ two-tight-end usage, his lack of development is a concern.
#8 – Justus Boone (DL)
