Florida got some gigantic news on Tuesday as guard Walter Clayton Jr. announced that he would be transferring to the Gators.
Ever since the portal period opened Clayton was a top target on Florida’s board and landing him is huge news for a team that was looking to completely retool their backcourt. Clayton comes to the Gators from Iona where he averaged 16.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 3.2 assists for a team that finished 76th in KenPom, just two spots behind the Gators.
This will be somewhat of a homecoming for Clayton who is from Lake Wales, Florida where he was a star in both basketball and football.
