LSU transfer TE Arik Gilbert decommits from Florida
Former five-star recruit Ark Gilbert entered the transfer portal after just one season at LSU. Then, on Jan. 31, Gilbert announced his new destination, the University of Florida.
Gilbert tweeted this on Sunday afternoon.
I have decided to decommit from the university of Florida and re-enter the portal. I will not be announcing my final decision until i am enrolled into school and on campus.

Georgia football was rumored to have a good shot at landing Gilbert before he committed to transfer to the Gators. Gilbert was rated as the No. 1 tight end in the country coming out of Marietta, Ga., in the 2020 recruiting class.
