Justus Ross-Simmons (2) of the Colorado State Rams
The college football transfer portal offers a pathway for student-athletes to explore new opportunities, and Florida football is actively engaging with potential recruits within this framework of amateur free agency. As the Gators seek to fill roster gaps left by departing players, they have already secured commitments from several transfers but remain open to further additions.
Among the transfer targets identified by Head Coach Billy Napier and his staff is wide receiver Justus Ross-Simmons, formerly of the Colorado State Rams. Ross-Simmons, a three-star recruit in the 2022 cycle, entered the transfer portal on April 16 and has scheduled an official visit with the Florida Gators.
According to Swamp247, Ross-Simmons is slated to visit Gainesville this Saturday, aligning with his initial announcement of a potential visit date. The allure of the Gators’ program caught his attention early in the process, particularly due to the presence of former teammate Clay Millen, currently on the Florida roster.
Standing at 6 feet 3 inches and weighing 215 pounds, Ross-Simmons is a dynamic pass-catcher who showcased his abilities at Colorado State, recording 45 receptions for 724 yards and three touchdowns in his sophomore season. He previously tallied 26 catches for 424 yards and three touchdowns as a freshman. Ranked as a three-star recruit by 247Sports, Ross-Simmons is positioned at No. 643 overall and No. 100 among wide receivers in the transfer portal.
