[Escambia94]

As of December 25, 2025, the following Florida Gators players have publicly announced their intentions to enter the NCAA transfer portal (official window: January 2–16, 2026). This list is compiled from credible reports and player announcements; the situation is fluid with the coaching transition to Jon Sumrall.
Updated 1/3/26. Total of 24 in the portal (2 walk-ons), including three former Freshman All-American players. Just under half (11 of 24) are blue chip players. We are still on Jadan Baugh watch for the next few weeks. Portal class ranked around #52.
Updated 1/11/26. Total of 25 in the portal. Jadan Baugh did not enter the portal and remained. Portal class ranked around #12 with 17 in-bounds.

Talk about “having a bad feeling”, THIS LATEST has me feeling one of the worst yet:
News coming Christmas night/Friday morning that Lane Kiffen has contacted DJ Lagway’s reps, and that they are “now in talks”.
Yeah, all that talk about wishing him well, etc—but personally, THAT PARTICULAR “fork in the road” just strikes me as the ultimate hidden “rub-our-faces-in-kaka” development, know what I mean?
I don’t think I need to explain myself for y’all—but if it comes to pass, well, there should be no shortage of “mixed feelings”, right?

 

[DRU2012]

I don’t know about y’all, but with everything actually happening before our very eyes just with OUR team and program over the last few days (our own micro-cosmic version of the ongoing at-large disaster that is the reality of the current CFB experience), I am very rapidly becoming overwhelmed with disgust and disillusionment at the whole damn deal.
We are now well ensconced in a cynically corrupt system of “ya get what ya pay for” yearly RE-turnover teams stocked mostly with one, at-most-two year “hired hands”, de facto mercenaries who care little for or about whom they actually “play FOR” now, if or WHERE they may play for later.
Why should WE care about THEM? THEIR loyalties are only to themselves, less and less even to their TEAMmates as this goes on; OURS is to the team, school and program. A large and widening gap is developing between fans and the guys we used to support, admire, root for and follow (at least to some extent) even after they move on to post-University careers. Whatever remains of all that is fading, and will continue to DO so.
And so much for “NIL”—the supposed original REASON and fundamental principle upon which all of this was going to rest, “fairness” and the “proper sharing of profit” finally brought to bear in college football. What’s a brand new DJ Lagway Game Jersey worth NOW? (LOL)
How many folks are gonna bother throwing down serious cash (beyond at most maybe the price of a HAT) on items representing the name, image, or likeness of a guy who’ll likely be GONE after a season or two, no matter HOW things go for him while he’s here. Will we even SEE anymore “long term HEROES”, figures like SS or TT, whose shirts will be worn, even sold anew for years and years to come??!
It is unclear at this point how much and what all we have already lost, will continue to lose as a result of damage already DONE…
There is talk of limits, “guardrails” to all of this-but so far nothing—and to a certain extent, the damage is DONE.
That’s NOT to say that we all shouldn’t howl and scream, put general public pressure on for some effort to be MADE in this regard. Perhaps some brakes can be applied, a degree of reason, outright SANITY might be returned to what is currently a wildly chaotic mess.
But for the moment we are stuck: Trapped in an accelerating downhill spiral of deteriorating choices.
I didn’t want to leave it there.
I knew I had to voice my concerns, the growing dissatisfaction and frustration that we ALL I think feel—but I had HOPED to find a closing “up note”…
I apologize: I was unable to really find one.
For the moment, that last small addendum we keep hearing of “needed guardrails” possibly being considered, eventually added. We don’t even have any idea whether these are pending considerations or just “wishful thinking”—and in either case, exactly by whom?
By US, certainly…but by anyone ELSE, aside from the various online personalities who mention these “pending possibilities”? Any one or ONES with authority to make it happen, or at least start the process?
Here’s hoping…

Transfer players to keep an eye on:

Player Name	Previous College	Position	Rating
Aaron Philo	Georgia Tech	QB	88.00*
Bailey Stockton	Georgia Tech	WR	83.21
Lacota Dippre	James Madison	TE	87.00
DJ Coleman	Baylor	DB (Safety)	90.67
Emmanuel Oyebadejo	Jacksonville State	DE	90.45
Dorian Thomas	New Mexico	TE	91.85

 

[DRU2012]

In an even MORE “ominous pending possibility”, if you (like me) thought Lane and LSU’s potential pursuit of DJ Lagway was fraught with dark irony, this latest news takes us right into a whole new nightmare of imagined betrayal:
DJ has been scheduled to a transfer portal visit and interview with Norwell, Malzahm and Co. at FSU!!!
I doubt I have to trace all the ways this just rings falsely.
Did that first meeting with the new Gator Coach go THAT badly??! Is this a perceived chance at season-ending revenge in 2026?
Whatever it is, it is just plain WRONG. All that talk for two-plus years of being “a Gator through and through”, “bleeding orange and blue”…
All lies, apparently.
Bad enough if it turned out to be “just all about the money after all”—but that’s a growing reality that we’re all having to accept and come to grips with now across the board.
But this is different. I don’t have to explain this, do I?
In fact, I gotta believe even most SEMINOLES have gotta have THEIR problems with the idea (although, I’m sure the possible image of an ex-Gator “hero/savior” breaking Reptile hearts next Thanksgiving will occur and appeal to SOME).
No, this crosses into “unforgivable” territory.
I don’t care to know or hear his rationale.
Fuck him.

Looks more and more like Wood might be staying a GATOR after all.
Lagway appears headed for Baylor after all (he RAVED about his visit there) not so much because HE “came to his senses” but because FSU turned around and offered another guy almost soon as he left!
However, another Gator RB, the once-promising (but oft-injured) Trayon Webb took a potentially more mutually-determined visit cross-state.
I don’t GET it: Even WITH the realities of modern “pay for play”, is there ANY sense of loyalty, honor or teamsmanship LEFT in college football now at ALL??! All those schools, all those choices and alternative paths to the “cash money” they all want a piece of, cannot those one or two “hated rival programs” every traditional “major” counts as “beyond the pale” remain off limits?
I’m gonna watch this Playoff semifinal game—Would have rooted against Miami (of course!) regardless had I watched AT ALL—but with this whole thing with Kiffen and Ol’ Miss, the way “the REAL LANE” is now coming out, his actually by now clearly working AGAINST his former team…
Ya gotta LOVE the idea of how much Lane HATES any continued Rebel success WITHOUT him! They were supposed to lose to Georgia, and now it’s all IN HIS FACE.
From a Gator P.O.V., I am quickly coming FURTHER BACK around to the idea that I really do not LIKE this guy.
This game is already heading the wrong way here, UM driving down the field on their first possession..,and Herbstreet and the rest waxing so glowingly about the Canes offense. Crap. Hold them to a fieldgoal, boys.
(This game definitely heading the wrong way…Looks so far like Lane’s foul intent will turn out successfully for him. I wish him all the worst. I truly MEAN that now. Glad he ISN’T our “future” after all. Spurrier, he is NOT.)

I guess this is as good a place as any to note the madness now revealing in Kiffen’s unmasking/return as “forked-tongue phony” and “Terminal Narcissist” in the latest blossoming scandal now hitting the headlines.
This of course concerns what is alleged (by multiple sources inside the Ol’ Miss program AND at large otherwise determinedly unbiased online journalists) his corrupt tampering efforts disguised as those weirdly inconsistent, now exposed as INSINCERE, requests to coach his former team through its playoff run, then (upon Rebel refusal) his temporary approval of SOME of his coaches staying on for the playoff run—then yanking them all back when the Rebels unexpectedly beat Georgia and Lane’s TRUE aims, attitude and underlying subterfuge began to show so starkly once more.
Speaking of which is the main point of this comment:
Why am I, why are ANY of us SURPRISED by ANY of this?
…As in, “What were we THINKING??!”
I USED to completely mistrust, disparage and DISMISS Lane Kiffen. Referred to him as “Kiffy-kins” and worse (MUCH worse) whenever I DID mention him by name online.
Like everyone else, though, I somehow changed my thinking and my tune: Came to see him as “a new man”, having somehow “grown up”…Like the rest of y’all definitely thought he was truly “a great fit”—true “Gator material” in the mold of Spurrier et al: “The right guy at the right time…”
Ignored the long line of “just plain WRONG” stuff that DIDN’T fit. Fortunately for us, “all that stuff” (perhaps inevitably) played their part in Lane HIMSELF eliminating his role in any possible “Gator future”:
Turned out we weren’t really any more a part in his real plans than a “chip” in his mirror-obsessed, headline-chasing efforts to charge up his own value at the “Coaches’ Contracts” poker game.
Only now, the sting and disappointment of rejection having so quickly faded with the arrival and subsequent hit-the-ground-running (flames-on-his-HEELS!) hiring and arrival of Jon Sumrall have the relentless dark-dominoes continued to fall and so clearly reminded us in so timely a fashion who Lane Kiffen REALLY is, and why we were and ARE LUCKY to have missed out on that particular “alternate reality” after all.
The scattered, slightly embarrassed (and yes, admittedly seemingly somewhat self-serving) claims among Gator fandom (myself included) that we “may have dodged a bullet there” by now are already hardening into more “an article of faith”—no matter HOW immediate parallel results play out!
Now, of course this is true only up to an extent.
We can mostly ignore LSU for now, whatever its trials and tribulations immediately ahead: all that matters for the moment is how the Florida Gators under Jon Sumrall continue to improve, grow and excite ON THE FIELD in 2026.
We’re not hearing, and wouldn’t at this point ACCEPT any return to the endless “Gotta be patient—This is a process and it is gonna take a while” BS that the last guy managed to salve us all with for THREE-PLUS YEARS!
I WILL add THIS, however:
I had a feeling from the moment the “spell” began to lift—that impression of a sort of “lifting fog” as the whole “The key to our certain return to dominance is on its way, A SURE THING, is signed/sealed/DELIVERED” plunged us through denial and turned into rejection and disappointment in a seeming heartbeat, then strangely, steadily moved out and away with intervening reality of real people making real moves, making concrete realistic claims that so far, one by one appear to actually be fulfilled…and replacing all the negatives, in addition to the solid (if not as “flashy”) alternative of signs of a proper “Positive Turnaround” was the growing recognition not only of “all those things about Lane Kiffen that were all still TRUE”, but that these would likely sooner or later be major stories that could just as easily INTERFERE once again with his team’s successes (whichever “Team” that WAS) as be a part of any potential return to the top.
And then there’s the personal realization, after the fact, that I didn’t necessarily want US, the University of Florida Fighting Gators, to come to embody Lane KIFFEN’S image and seeming lack of honor or empathy.
We ARE “different”:
“We WON’T back down!”
We may “hang half a hunnert on ya” a la SS—do it with glee and pizzazz, if we CAN—BUT:
We will do it CLEANLY, with exciting play, ideally with dazzling and explosive talent, but determination, flexibility and unyielding toughness underlying everything.
We have to…Over the decades we’ve learned all too well the HARD way that there all too many out there whom are just WAITING, SEARCHING for an opening, ways to use whatever they can against us.
I now see that Lane would have been exactly the WRONG guy. Oh, he’ll get wins wherever he goes…He would have won here with us—but it is everything ELSE that comes WITH him, all that self-centered excess (and especially the manipulative, unrelenting lack of personal honor and self-control) that continues to eventually damage (ultimately even poison) the GOOD he manages to bring to bear.
Anyway, now it’s all just “another juicy story-of-the-moment”, one I am sure glad has NOTHING to do with US except to follow from afar as we are on the brink of moving fully to the OFF-season.

I would not worry too much about Lane Kiffin and his portal moves. Yes, I did want him at Florida. Yes, I did think he had matured a lot since the old days. I am happy to be wrong about Lane being the best candidate for Florida. However, there is no guarantee in this day and age that his approach will yield the best results. Case in point is Indiana. Compare the On3 transfer portal rankings to the 247 transfer portal rankings. No sports analysis site has the single best algorithm to measure this. No head coach and GM have the best strategy for recruiting the portal.

I am leaning towards the On3 formula based on what we see on the field.

[DRU2012]

I would not worry too much about Lane Kiffin and his portal moves. Yes, I did want him at Florida. Yes, I did think he had matured a lot since the old days. I am happy to be wrong about Lane being the best candidate for Florida. However, there is no guarantee in this day and age that his approach will yield the best results. Case in point is Indiana. Compare the On3 transfer portal rankings to the 247 transfer portal rankings. No sports analysis site has the single best algorithm to measure this. No head coach and GM have the best strategy for recruiting the portal.

I am leaning towards the On3 formula based on what we see on the field.

​	On3​	247​
1​	Indiana​	LSU​
2​	Texas Tech​	Ole Miss​
3​	Texas A&M​	Texas​
4​	Louisville​	Oho State​
5​	Virginia Tech​	Penn State​
6​	Houston​	Oklahoma State​
7​	Notre Dame​	Indiana​
8​	LSU​	Kentucky​
9​	UCLE​	Notre Dame​
10​	Florida​	Texas A&M​
11​	Texas​	Texas Tech​
12​	Arkansas​	Arizona State​
13​	Tennessee​	Auburn​
14​	BYU​	California​
15​	West Virginia​	Louisville​
16​	Clemson​	Virginia Tech​
17​	Mississippi State​	Oklahoma​
18​	Colorado​	South Carolina​
19​	Oklahoma State​	Colorado​
20​	Wisconsin​	Michigan​
21​	Oregon​	Tennessee​
22​	Oklahoma​	Missouri​
23​	California​	Florida​
24​	Arizona​	FSU​
25​	South Carolina​	Arkansas​

All KINDS of reasons we’d rather assume ON3 is closer to “getting it right”, obviously—some purely as Gators, some “That and more, MUCH more!”—but what I really like (and incidentally find one of the few really encouraging signs of “maybe things aren’t as totally bolluxed as we thought”) is the simple fact that the Coach, his chosen staff, and the pervasive, overall attitude of the whole current regime’s applied ethos is the current Number One:
The very team that has swept into tonight’s CFB Championship Game undefeated and is favored to neatly handle and beat its opponent, Miami, doesn’t buy into the views or approach of ANY of either the sites nor whatever “algorithms” they supposedly apply.
From Cignetti on down, “In the end”, they seem to be saying, “just apply a combination of determination, toughness, hard work and rock hard, common sense values…
Do it all with honor, honesty and most of all a fearless attitude, heart and spirit”.
That leaves room for a whole lot of different “recipes for eventual success” in the mix of actual details, depending on situation AND philosophy—and how these are applied.
