Former LSU tight end Arik Gilbert announced on social media on Sunday that he's transferring to Florida.
Gilbert was the No. 6 ranked prospect in the 2020 class out of Marietta, Georgia, and initially entered the transfer portal on Jan. 5.
He was fourth in receiving yards for LSU this past season with 368 yards on 35 receptions with two touchdowns in eight games. Gilbert abruptly opted out of the season on Dec. 9 and coach Ed Orgeron said at the time that he expected Gilbert to return in 2021.
Gilbert will give the Gators another excellent pass-catching option at tight end.
