UCLA safety transfer Kanye Clark has committed to Florida out of the NCAA transfer portal, On3 has learned. Clark visited Florida on Jan. 10, committing two days later.

Clark had the best season of his career so far in 2025, totaling 23 tackles (16 solo) including two pass breakups and a forced fumble. Prior to 2025, he logged tackles across two seasons.

He’s appeared in 16 games total for the Bruins in his college career. He played in five games during the 2023 season as a reserve cornerback and special teams performer. He followed that up by playing in the first two games of 2024 before missing the rest of the season due to injury.

Before college, Clark was unranked in the 2023 class. That’s according to the Rivals Industry Rankings, which is a proprietary algorithm that compiles ratings and rankings from all four primary recruiting media services.

Clark is the 22nd player to commit to the Florida Gators ahead of the 2026 season. Florida currently has the No. 8 overall portal class as of this report, per On3’s 2026 team transfer portal rankings. The Gators have also lost 25 players to the portal, which isn’t surprising given the coaching turnover that took place to begin the offseason.

Jon Sumrall is taking over head coaching duties. He led Tulane to the College Football playoff in 2025 and is replacing Billy Napier, who has since taken the same job at James Madison.

Florida will certainly be one of the more followed teams throughout the portal process. Sumrall is looking to immediately find success after a few down years under Napier’s guidance. Doing so through the transfer portal has proven to be effective at other places, and Florida is hoping some of that success rubs off in Gainesville this offseason.

Everything will lead into the Sept. 5 opener against Florida Atlantic. So much will be different compared to this past year’s finale vs. Florida State. Fresh faces, from the roster to the coaching staff, will be running onto the field.
