Florida edge rusher Jack Pyburn, who ranks second on the team with 60 tackles this season, is entering the transfer portal.

Pyburn’s management agency, Addison Sports & Entertainment, confirmed the decision that was first reported by On3 Sports.

Pyburn was one of the reasons the Gators (7-5) played much better defense down the stretch and made the Gasparilla Bowl. But the 6-foot-3 junior from nearby Jacksonville joined a growing list of Florida defenders who have entered the portal in the past two days, following defensive linemen Justus Boone and Kelby Collins as well as cornerback Ja’Keem Jackson and linebacker Deuce Spurlock.

The Gators did get some good news this week when defensive tackle Caleb Banks announced he is returning to Florida for his senior season.
