Florida Gators add Colorado State QB transfer Clay Millen

The Florida Gators have been looking to add a scholarship quarterback to the roster for the 2024 season after both Max Brown and Jack Miller left the team.

This weekend, the Gators hosted Colorado State quarterback transfer Clay Millen on campus, and after the visit Millen announced he was transferring to Florida.

“#Committed #GoGators,” Millen tweeted.

Millen who has three years left to play has played in just 11 games in two seasons with the Rams including just one last season which allowed him to keep his redshirt.

The Washington native is known for having a big arm and is the son of former NFL quarterback Hugh Millen and his older brother Cale Millen played at Oregon.

With the addition of Millen, the Gators now have three quarterbacks on scholarship as he joins Graham Mertz and DJ Lagway on the roster.

Napier and company wanted to add a guy like Millen to have another scholarship quarterback on the roster in case of an injury to either Mertz or Lagway.

It’s expected that Mertz will be the Gators starter next season with freshman Lagway getting some snaps in different situations in hopes of having the quarterback reason for the 2025 season after Mertz leaves the program.
