Oregon announced that cornerback Jahlil Florence has entered the transfer portal, according to On3’s Hayes Fawcett.
The 6-foot-2, 195-pound cornerback totaled 35 tackles, one sack, one forced fumble and two interceptions during his time with the Ducks. Florence has two years of eligibility remaining.
“Good luck the rest of season to my brothers,” Florence posted on social media Sunday night.
Florence was part of Dan Lanning’s first recruiting class in 2022. He appeared in eight games as a freshman and started nine of 11 contests in 2023 alongside Khyree Jackson.
He missed the 2024 season due to injury.
This fall, Florence was limited to two appearances with no recorded statistics. He was surpassed on the depth chart by Ify Obidegwu and Brandon Finney Jr.
Florence didn’t travel with the team during the past two weeks. Lanning said last month he wasn’t sure whether Florence would redshirt, initially believing he had already played in four games.
The San Diego native was a consensus four-star recruit. He ranked among the top 20 cornerbacks nationally by all major recruiting services.
Florence can apply for a medical hardship waiver, which would leave him with two full seasons of eligibility at his next program.
