Louisiana RB Montrell Johnson transfers to Florida







Billy Napier and the Florida Gators have landed one of the top available players in the Transfer Portal. Freshman running back out of Louisiana-Lafayette has announced he’ll be transferring to the University of Florida.



Johnson is the second UL player to transfer to Florida after Napier was named the Gators head coach. Freshman offensive tackle Kamryn Waites was the first Ragin’ Cajun to transfer to Florida this offseason.



During his freshman season, Johnson was one of the top freshman running backs in the country. Johnson rushed for 838 yards on 162 carries and a team-high 12 touchdowns. He was even named Freshman of the Year in the Sun Belt Conference.



With the addition of Johnson, Florida now has four running backs on scholarship with Nay’Quan Wright, Lorenzo Lingard and Demarkcus Bowman. The Gators also recently landed Rivals100 all-purpose back Trevor Etienne and are still recruiting Louisiana native running Trevonte’ Citizen.



Montrell Johnson is the third player Florida has landed in the Transfer Portal. Ohio State transfer quarterback Jack Miller III was the first portal to land at Florida followed by Kamryn Waites. The Gators are still keeping taps on Louisiana offensive lineman O’Cyrus Torrence, who was received offers from schools like Auburn, Clemson, Florida, Michigan State and others.
