Florida running back, former 4-star recruit reportedly plans to enter portal
Published:
The Florida Gators are waiting on head coach Jon Sumrall to fully take the reins of their job. Until his Tulane team is eliminated from the CFP, though, Sumrall is going to have split duties. Whenever he finally relocates to Gainesville full-time, he’s going to have to find a new backup running back.
On Monday, On3 Sports’ Hayes Fawcett reported Gator running back Kahnen “KD” Daniels was entering the transfer portal. The former 4-star recruit was the No. 203 overall prospect in the 247Sports Composite Rankings for the 2024 class.

Daniels saw limited playing time as a true freshman in Gainesville, but earned more carries this year. He rushed for 120 yards and 1 touchdown on 28 carries (4.3 yards per carry) in 10 games.
During his high school recruiting process, Daniels took visits to Florida State, Auburn and Texas A&M in the month leading up to his Florida commitment. He also received offers from a number of higher-level programs, including Alabama, Oregon and Ole Miss. Despite not getting much action as a Gator, he should have plenty of suitors in the transfer portal.
While Sumrall and Daniels handle their respective business, Florida is waiting for the 2026 campaign. The Gators will open next season versus the Florida Atlantic Owls on Sept. 5.
