Summerall reportedly enters transfer portal

Defensive end/outside linebacker Lloyd Summerall has reportedly become the fourth Gator to enter the transfer portal this week.

Summerall, 6-foot-5 and 247 pounds, has found playing time hard to come by throughout his three years on campus.

The four-star recruit played in just three games and made two tackles en route to a redshirt in 2019. He only played against Missouri and Oklahoma in 2020, and the Gators were extremely thin on depth in both of those games.

He’s played in every game this season but mostly on special teams. He’s made four tackles, including half a sack against Vanderbilt. He also returned a short kickoff for 20 yards against Samford.

Summerall joins fellow edge rusher Khris Bogle, defensive end Dante Zanders and offensive lineman Gerald Mincey in the transfer portal. The four of them still have the option of returning to Florida after meeting the new coaching staff if they choose to do so, but other schools now have the ability to contact them.

Summerall has three years of eligibility remaining.
