Here are 5 transfer portal targets Florida football should be looking at

Here are five transfer portal targets that would fit in well with Billy Napier and the Florida Gators in 2024.

College football’s transfer portal officially opened on Monday, Dec. 4, to kick off the amateur sport’s version of free agency. As has been the case in recent years, the list of student-athletes who have entered the portal is both long and features some game-changing talent seeking a better chance elsewhere.

Billy Napier and the Florida football program have both benefitted and seen losses through the transfer system in the past, though this season has already seen some big names heading out the door — including future-star running back Trevor Etienne.

But fear not, Gator fans, as there are plenty of viable options available to help restock a diminished cupboard of talent. Gators Wire alumnus Jay Markle takes a look at five players who might not be at the top of every team’s wish list but fit in well with Napier and Co.’s scheme in Gainesville.

5 early transfer portal entrants that Alabama could look to pursue

Roll Tide Wire takes a look at five early transfer portal entrants that Alabama could look to pursue. The window officially opens up on November 4.

Although the season has not ended, the Alabama coaching staff almost certainly has their eyes set on the transfer portal. In recent years, Alabama has been able to haul in multiple impactful transfers. Several to note are Jameson Williams, Eli Ricks, Jermaine Burton, and Tyler Steen.

It is a crucial aspect of the current recruiting landscape that surrounds college football. The transfer portal has become vastly important for a plethora of programs across the country. Adding experience and firepower are two things that teams are constantly looking to bring in to their programs.

Notre Dame named as a potential destination for wide receiver transfer

Will the Irish pursue the this transfer?

The transfer season isn’t even close to being in full bloom, but there is already rumbling that [autotag]Notre Dame football[/autotag] could be adding a recently available wide receiver.

Former Boise State pass catcher [autotag]Eric McAlister[/autotag] left the program, with news of his departure coming on Monday morning. 247Sports Brad Crawford was quick to connect teams with the receiver, and mentioned that the Irish would be a good fit.

McAlister led the Broncos with 47 receptions for 873 yards and 5 touchdowns, would be a huge addition to for Notre Dame. At 6-foot, 4-inches and 200-pounds, he’d enter the program with plenty of experience and production.

It remains to be seen if the two parties are a match, but bringing in more talented receivers wouldn’t hurt the Irish.

The 2021 recruiting season isn’t over quite yet for Paul Chryst, Joe Rudolph and the Wisconsin Badgers.

Earlier today they made the cut for another recruit’s top schools; 2021 three-star wide receiver Eric McAlister.

As seen above the other schools listed are Boise State, Utah, Wyoming, San Diego State, Virginia Tech and Nebraska.

McAlister is ranked by 247Sports as the No. 837 player in the class of 2021, the No. 121 wide receiver and the No. 117 player from his home state of Texas.

Despite the Badgers among the receiver’s final schools, the latest crystal ball prediction has him choosing to play his college years at Boise State.

The Badgers currently have one wide receiver in their class of 2021 in three-star recruit Skyler Bell, so adding McAlister would give them valuable depth at the position as the program looks ahead to Graham Mertz’s years under center.

The class as a whole currently ranks No. 17 in the nation and No. 3 in the Big Ten, both marks that would rise were the program to land the wide receiver and five-star offensive tackle Nolan Rucci.

Wisconsin offers a 2021 WR

The Badgers offer another WR in the class of 2021

[lawrence-newsletter]As the Badgers look to round the 2021 class, another offer went out yesterday at the WR position. Texas native Eric Mcalister became the latest Badger target offered in the class of 2021.

This offer comes on the heels of Wisconsin 2021 QB commit Deacon Pe’a Hill telling BadgersWire that Wisconsin was focused on adding WR’s to the class of 2021. Mcalister is a big target at 6-foot-3. During his junior season at Azle High School, he racked up 23 touchdowns and over 1400 yards according to his Hudl film. He uses his size and physicality well to win one on one matchups, but also has the speed to break a short route open. Mcalister currently holds offers from Nebraska, Virginia Tech, Air Force, and Army among others.
