The Count to 105: Florida Gators Roster Updates

GAINESVILLE, Fla.-- The NCAA's new hard cap of 105 players on a roster means that the Florida Gators are set to lose more than they gain through the NCAA Transfer Portal when it opens on Dec. 9.

Per SEC rules, schools will follow the NCAA's roster limit of 105 players, but schools will be forced to stay at 85 scholarships. Meaning, the Gators will be allowed 20 walk-ons, but it will still have to see many on the current roster depart.

Gators Illustrated previously highlighted the NCAA's new rules and head coach Billy Napier's reaction to them.

As a result of the change, and the impending numbers game Florida will have to play as it trims its roster, Gators Illustrated is keeping track of the Gators' roster count as it turns the page from the 2024 season to the 2025 campaign.

By Gators Illustrated's most-recent count (Dec. 5, 2024), Florida has 123 total players left on the roster, 85 of which are either already on or will likely be on scholarship. These numbers include Wednesday's signees and those remaining on the roster who still have collegiate eligibility.

Names are listed in order by scholarship seniority, then by walk-on seniority. This list will be updated as departures and additions are announced at the end of those days.
