Lloyd Summerall removes name from NCAA transfer portal
Florida defensive end Lloyd Summerall has removed his name from the NCAA transfer portal.
Let’s be honest. I would say Rick Wells really didn’t contribute too much. This was his 6th year.
Paco,
I would certainly take him over Copeland as a true Gator since Wells stuck it out and appeared to be a team player, etc.Paco,
If talking ONLY about football, Agree, but he stuck around & he did contribute; something which surprised everyone.

I think it is better if Elam goes to keep up our first round NFL draft placement streak.
I want what's best for the kid. If he's a top 10 guy, no brainer to go. If he's 2nd round grade, come back and try to elevate it. The one thing that does not matter in this equation is "first round draft placement streak".
Wells made a lot of immature decisions early in his Gator career that got him in the doghouse and cost him playing time and quicker development. Not too long after arriving on campus in 2016 he got arrested for shooting an airsoft (BB) gun in the dorms. He redshirted that year. Then he was one of 9 Gators caught in the fraudulent credit card mess and was suspended for the entire 2017 season? In 2018 he was with a group that got in an altercation with a Gainesville gambler and lied to police about it. And he had a couple of other game-day suspensions for undisclosed reasons. But I give the kid credit for hanging in there, not transferring out like so many do now, staying loyal to the university and the team, earning his degree and contributing when given the opportunity. Best of luck with his life wherever it leads. None of us is perfect and some have their dirty laundry aired for all to see. It's the choices we make after messing up that define us and it seems Rick Wells is on the right path.Paco,

Ocala,

Who?Another Gator player takes his name out of the portal:
Dante Zanders removes his name from NCAA transfer portal
A second Florida defensive lineman has removed his name from the NCAA transfer portal, Swamp247 has learned.
Imagine how horrible the year would have been without him though.

Michi,
Could have been losses vs FAU, UT, and FSU without his contributions. I'd hate to think about how worse it could have been.
Until sadgator read this thread, he had no idea we had a player named Summerall…
Might be close to his degree?
He graduates in the spring and can get a UF degree. He transfers now and he doesn’t get it. He will likely transfer after the spring would be my guess. Probably a smart decision to go ahead and get that UF degree if your that close.
