Reserve OL Enoch Wangoy plans to enter the transfer portal
Redshirt freshman Florida Gators offensive lineman Enoch Wangoy, a reserve, plans to enter the NCAA Transfer Portal when it opens in January, Gators Online has confirmed. Wangoy, a native of England who attended high school in the Jacksonville, Fla., area, did not see any game action in his two years with the program.
He signed with UF in 2024 but redshirted that year. Wangoy initially was supposed to be a 2025 graduate, but he reclassified and enrolled at UF in the summer of 2024.
Wangoy is listed at 6-foot-7 and 333 pounds on the UF roster. He moved to the United States to play basketball. But he gave football a try in 2023 year and after only one season at Jacksonville (Fla.) Zarephath Academy he got the attention of several programs — including Florida.
Transfer portal background information
The NCAA Transfer Portal, which covers every NCAA sport at the Division I, II and III levels, 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.
The window for FBS players to enter the portal opens Jan. 2 and closes on Jan. 16.
