Gators DL Dante Zanders withdraws name from transfer portal
According to On3’s Matt Zenitz, Gators defensive lineman Dante Zanders is returning to the program.
Zanders, a redshirt junior from Boca Raton, entered the transfer portal on Nov. 29 but withdrew his name on Sunday afternoon.
Lloyd Summerall, a redshirt sophomore EDGE, withdrew his name from the transfer portal this weekend as well.
Prior to switching over to defense in 2020, Zanders laced up the cleats at tight end but did not record any stats. He was the first player to explore other options after Billy Napier was announced as head coach.
