The Florida Gators have added a fourth receiver from the transfer portal as Jaylen Lloyd<\/a>, most recently of Oklahoma State, has committed to UF. Lloyd has two seasons of eligibility.<\/p>\n

He spent one season with the Cowboys after transferring from Nebraska. Lloyd played in just two games in 2025 and did not have any catches.<\/p>\n

The 5-10, 180-pound Lloyd recorded 19 catches for 255 yards and three touchdowns in two seasons with the Cornhuskers. His best season came in 2024, when he finished with 13 receptions for 255 yards.<\/p>\n

Lloyd is the No. 156<\/a> receiver and No. 1104<\/a> overall player in the On3 transfer portal rankings. Coming out of high school he was a 3-star recruit in Omaha, Neb.<\/p>\n

The Gators previously added receivers\u00a0Eric Singleton<\/a> of Auburn, Georgia Tech transfer\u00a0Bailey Stockton<\/a> and Wake Forest transfer\u00a0Micah Mays<\/a> from the transfer portal.<\/p>\n

Transfer portal background information<\/p>\n

The NCAA Transfer Portal, which covers every NCAA sport at the Division I, II, and III levels, is a private database with names of student-athletes who wish to transfer. It is not accessible to the public.<\/p>\n

The process of entering the portal is done through a school\u2019s compliance office. Once a player provides written notification of an intent to transfer, the office enters the player\u2019s name in the database, and everything is off and running. The compliance office has 48 hours to comply with the player\u2019s request, and that request cannot be refused.<\/p>\n

Once a player\u2019s name shows up in the portal, other schools can contact the player. Players can change their minds at any point and withdraw from the portal. However, once a player enters the portal, the current scholarship no longer has to be honored. In other words, if a player enters the portal but decides to stay, the school is not obligated to provide a scholarship anymore.<\/p>\n

The database is a normal database, sortable by a variety of topics, including (of course) sport and name. A player\u2019s individual entry includes basic details such as contact info, whether the player was on scholarship, and whether the player is transferring as a graduate student.<\/p>\n

A player can ask that a \u201cdo not contact\u201d tag be placed on the report. In those instances, the players don\u2019t want to be contacted by schools unless they\u2019ve initiated the communication.<\/p>\n

The window for FBS players to enter the portal opens Jan. 2 and closes on Jan. 16.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Florida Gators have added a fourth receiver from the transfer portal as Jaylen Lloyd, most recently of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":413036,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[399,198099,398,396,397,4504,99],"class_list":{"0":"post-413035","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-ncaa-football","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-jaylen-lloyd-23-westside","10":"tag-ncaa","11":"tag-ncaa-football","12":"tag-ncaafootball","13":"tag-regwall","14":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/413035","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=413035"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/413035\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/413036"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=413035"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=413035"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=413035"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
