Florida Gators Podcast: Florida's Big Five, Aaron Philo in the fold as Sumrall solidifies rebuild (Ep. 418)
<p>New coach Jon Sumrall and Co. secured their five targets from the 2025 Gators, led by 1,000-yard rusher Jadan Baugh, and added more than a dozen newcomers from the transfer portal.

Decisions, decisions … transfer portal madness arrives (Ep. 417)
<p>The transfer portal opens on Friday as new coach Jon Sumrall and his staff continue to construct the 2026 Gators. Attrition is already underway, highlighted by quarterback DJ Lagway's departure. Many players reportedly intend to enter the portal, including receiver Tre Wilson. Others could follow, but continue to negotiate, led by tailback Jadan Baugh, receiver Dallas Wilson and edge rusher Jayden Woods. Meanwhile, rising stars, including linebacker Myles Graham and receiver Vernell Brown III, are back in the fold. The question then remains: Who's headed to Gainesville? It's a lot of moving parts, but during the latest Swamp Things, Mark and Edgar try to piece it all together during the new age of college football.</p> <ul> <li>Cold reality of college football: NIL/portal (00:00)</li> <li>Player status: Goners (6:15)</li> <li>Player status: Still negotiating (13:08)</li> <li>Player status: Coming back (25:45)</li> <li>Announcing returners ripped (30:44)</li> <li>Finding new ways of thinking (36:30)</li> <li>Jon Sumrall's hires (38:44)</li> <li>Who are the targets?

DJ leaves Gators as Sumrall's roster rebuild begins (Ep. 416)
<p>Florida quarterback DJ Lagway hits the transfer portal after a sophomore slump and slew of injuries left a new coaching staff wondering if the 20-year-old was worth the investment. Lagway's exit is among many. But reinforcements are on the way as free agency in college football begins, even with the portal not set to open until Jan. 2. Meanwhile, Sumrall continues to build his staff even as he prepares Tulane for Saturday's CFP matchup at Ole Miss.
