Florida LB Mannie Nunnery enters NCAA transfer portal
Florida Gators linebacker Mannie Nunnery has entered the NCAA transfer portal, @On3sports has learned.
Nunnery has 109 tackles, 9.5 tackles for loss, and 4.0 sacks in his college career. He started his career at Houston.
In 2023 — his lone season with the Gators — Nunnery recorded 28 tackles, 11 solo stops, 0.5 sacks and 1 pass breakup. He had a season-high 10 tackles (2 solo) in an overtime loss at The Swamp to Arkansas.
Nunnery spent four years at Houston. He was redshirted in 2019; the 2020 season did not count against his eligibility because of Covid-19. Thus, he has one season left to play.
Nunerry will be a graduate transfer. He’s expected to graduate from UF this spring.
Transfer portal background information
The NCAA Transfer Portal is a private database with names of student-athletes who wish to transfer. It is not accessible to the public.
The process of entering the portal is done through a school’s compliance office. Once a player provides written notification of an intent to transfer, the office enters the player’s name in the database and everything is off and running. The compliance office has 48 hours to comply with the player’s request and that request cannot be refused.
Once a player’s name shows up in the portal, other schools can contact the player. Players can change their minds at any point and withdraw from the portal. However, once a player enters the portal, the current scholarship no longer has to be honored. In other words, if a player enters the portal but decides to stay, the school is not obligated to provide a scholarship anymore.
The database is a normal database, sortable by a variety of topics, including (of course) sport and name. A player’s individual entry includes basic details such as contact info, whether the player was on scholarship and whether the player is transferring as a graduate student.
A player can ask that a “do not contact” tag be placed on the report. In those instances, the players don’t want to be contacted by schools unless they’ve initiated the communication.
He currently does not have an On3 NIL Valuation publicly listed. The On3 NIL Valuation is the industry’s leading index that sets high school and college athletes’ projected annual value (PAV). The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.
