Florida lands UCF LB transfer TJ Bullard

The Florida Gators have been on a run of transfer commitments recently. That momentum isn’t slowing down, as UCF linebacker transfer TJ Bullard became the latest to jump on board. This newest transfer comitment is the son of WWE star Titus O’Neil, who played defensive end (44 game appearances) at Florida (1997-2000) as Thaddeus Bullard for Gator coach Steve Spurrier. The younger Bullard will have one year left to play at his new stop.

Added depth to the linebacker room

The Florida Gators coaching staff had already done a good job of keeping numbers at linebacker solid before the addition of TJ Bullard. Jon Sumrall and his staff already re-signed the likes of Myles Graham, Aaron Chiles, and Jaden Robinson, who all played consistently in 2025. The Gators also have young linebackers Myles Johnson and Ty Jackson in future years. Bullard will arrive at Florida with 4 tackles (1 TFL) in his career. However, he’s another body in that room, who also has legacy ties.
