Florida basketball made the latest cut for former North Texas Mean Green guard Tylor Perry, who is currently in search of greener pastures through the transfer portal. The 5-foot-11-inch, 182-pound ballhandler released his list of top-four preferred schools on his personal Twitter account Tuesday night and Todd Golden’s team earned a mention.
Along with the Gators, the Ole Miss Rebels, Kansas State Wildcats and Texas Tech Red Raiders also made the list. Perry was in Gainesville over Easter weekend to get a gander at the Gators’ digs over the course of a few days followed by a visit with Eric Musselman and the Arkansas Razorbacks afterward.
He had also planned a trip to Tuscaloosa to see the Alabama Crimson Tide but nixed that stop after omitting them from his latest top schools list.
The junior from Fort Coffee, Oklahoma, served primarily as a point guard with the Mean Green, averaging 15.6 points on 43.1% from the field and 41.3% from beyond the arc while grabbing 3.2 rebounds, dishing out 2.3 dimes and snatching 1.3 steals per game over his two-year tenure in North Texas. He played two seasons at Coffeeville CC prior to his time in Denton, where he led his squad to the 2021 NJCAA DI National Championship in 2020-21.
The Gators have added four players through the transfer portal — forward Tyrese Samuel, point guard Walter Clayton Jr., forward EJ Jarvis and center Micah Handlogten — along with two members from the 2023 high school recruiting class in forwards Alex Condon and Thomas Haugh.
