Florida's transfer portal class was ranked favorably in 247Sports' recent rankings, with several current Gators receiving updated grades.
The group was headlined by Auburn transfer Eric Singleton Jr., who finished among the highest-rated additions in the country. The Douglasville, Georgia native comes with a proven track record of production, amassing 104 receptions and 1,468 receiving yards at Georgia Tech to go along with nine touchdowns.
Former Yellow Jackets quarterback Aaron Philo made the trek to Florida from Atlanta to reunite with offensive coordinator Buster Faulkner. National intrigue continues to build around this duo as Philo comes to Gainesville with a strong understanding of Faulkner's offense scheme. Philo is one of 32 total transfers that joined the Gators before spring camp.
The perception around Florida's transfer class is beginning to sweeten, with some believing the Gators have one of the SEC's most impactful groups. Jon Sumrall and the Gators aggressively approached roster reconstruction this offseason, adding speed, explosiveness and players who fit Faulkner's philosophy.
