Florida has its eyes on a 2025 breakthrough under head coach Billy Napier, and the Gators picked up another piece toward that breakthrough on Friday. It comes in the form of a veteran defender via the transfer portal.
The player is Micheal Caraway Jr., a defensive back out of Southern Mississippi who spent 2 seasons at the JUCO level before the last 3 with the Golden Eagles. Caraway has 34 career appearances at Southern Miss and is coming off a career-high 37 tackles in 2024.
Overall, Caraway has 70 career tackles at Southern Miss with 7 pass breakups and a fumble recovery.

— Transfer Portal (@TransferPortal_) January 17, 2025With a number of young pieces on the roster, Florida is looking for some key returners to be big in 2025. It has led to a small transfer class with Caraway becoming just the 4th transfer commitment so far for the Gators per 247 Sports.
Kofi Asare, an edge performer out of UMass, is the only other transfer defender committed to Florida thus far. Wide receiver J. Michael Sturdivant (UCLA) and punter Tommy Doman (Michigan) are the other transfers so far committed to Napier and his program.
While the transfer recruiting class is small, the Gators are adding the No. 10 high school recruiting class in the country per the 247 Sports Composite, headlined by 5-star receiver and in-state recruit Dallas Wilson.
We’ll see how the formula stacks up for Florida in 2025.
