Florida lands offensive line transfer with P4 starting experience
Published:
There are only 2 college football games left this season. With 99% of the action out of the way, we’re at full throttle in the transfer portal.
Most of the news surrounding Florida and the portal feels like it has involved player departures. However, on Friday, the Gators made an addition. According to CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz and Chris Hummer, Florida has landed a commitment from former Stanford offensive lineman Emeka Ugorji. The 6-foot-5, 300-lb. tackle started 10 games for the Cardinal as a true freshman in 2025.
Ugorji, a native of Dallas, Texas, was the No. 82 overall tackle in the 2025 recruting class, according to the 247 Composite. Neither Florida nor Tulane — Gators head coach Jon Sumrall‘s former school — offered him out of high school. Before committing to Stanford, he took official visits to Arizona State, Duke, SMU, and Texas A&M as part of his recruitment process.
The Gators, according to 247Sports, have now added 16 players in the transfer portal. They’ve had 30 players enter the portal, so there are still a number of roster spots left for Sumrall to fill. As he gets more comfortable in Gainesville, we should see more players taking the chance to join him and play for an SEC school in 2026.
