Linebacker Myles Graham, the Florida Gators’ leading tackler in 2025, will return for his junior season, per Florida Victorious. While other players have decided to enter the portal, he apparently will not.

Graham, who graduated from Gainesville (Fla.) Buchholz High and was a 4-star recruit in the 2024 class, recorded 76 total tackles (36 solo), 7.0 tackles for loss and 2.0 sacks this past season. He is the son of former Florida Gators running back great Earnest Graham.

Myles Graham started every game of the 2025 season for UF.

The season prior, he made an immediate impact in Year 1 with the program. As a true freshman, Graham appeared in all 13 games; he finished with 30 tackles (9 solo), 1.0 sacks, 2.5 tackles for loss, 1 interception, 1 forced fumble and a QB hurry. For his efforts, he was a freshman All-SEC choice.

New Gators coach Jon Sumrall already has made a strong first impression on Graham.

“We loved him, man. He was intense. He told us straight up that he wasn’t going to back down,” Graham told Florida Victorious. “He was ready for the challenge and we loved him. I feel like a lot of guys bought into that.”

Here are Graham’s game-by-game numbers in 2025 per his official UF bio.
