Gators head coach Billy Napier helped guide the Florida football team to wins over LSU, Ole Miss and Florida State to close out the regular season on a three-game winning streak. Now, Florida will play Tulane in the Gasparilla Bowl after a 7-5 season. However, Napier’s seat will still be warm in 2025 and the fanbase expected the football program to be in the College Football Playoff discussion when the tournament expanded to 12 teams.

That means Napier will have to work the college football transfer portal hard in the coming weeks to help bolster a Florida football roster that has fallen behind rivals like Georgia and Tennessee. Who will be the top Florida football recruiting targets going forward and how big of a step can the Gators take in 2025?

Florida football transfer portal news, preview

One clear area of emphasis for Napier during this transfer portal window will be the secondary and one major Florida transfer portal target was already on campus this weekend. Zechariah Poyser helped lead Jacksonville State to the Conference USA championship this season as a redshirt freshman, recording 75 tackles, eight pass break-ups and three interceptions on the season.

Poyser entered the transfer portal on Monday under the assumption that his head coach (Rich Rodriguez) would leave for West Virginia. That came to fruition on Thursday and Poyser has already taken visits to LSU, Auburn and Florida this week alone, so his recruitment is moving quickly.

He has experience playing safety and nickel, which should help him see the field immediately for the Gators and he was also high school teammates with 2025 Florida signee Vernell Brown III. The four-star wide receiver signed with UF earlier this month and will hopefully give the Gators a leg up with Poyser. Get all the latest 2024 Florida football transfer portal updates at Swamp247.
