Florida football had a remarkably successful week in the NCAA transfer portal, pulling a pair of blue-chip players from their former schools to finalize the 2024 roster.
The first to commit to the Gators was former five-star prospect and Colorado Buffaloes cornerback [autotag]Cormani McClain[/autotag], who returned to his home state to join a team he nearly committed to as a recruit. The other was redshirt junior wide receiver [autotag]Elijhah Badger[/autotag], who spent his first four collegiate seasons with the Arizona State Sun Devils.
As a result of this major coup, the Orange and Blue are now ranked fifth in 247Sports’ college football team transfer rankings. [autotag]Billy Napier[/autotag] and Co. brought in 15 new players via the portal — six of whom are four-star players and the other nine three-star.
McClain is rated at four stars in the transfer portal and ranks No. 21 overall and No. 5 at his position. Badger is a four-star transfer portal prospect, ranking No. 184 overall and No. 36 at his position.
