In a move that has stunned the Southeastern Conference, Florida Gators’ standout wide receiver J. Michael Sturdivant has announced his transfer to the Georgia Bulldogs, reportedly securing a landmark Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) agreement valued at $2.5 million. Sturdivant, a junior from Highland Village, Texas, led the Gators in receiving yards and touchdowns during the 2024 season.
The specifics of Sturdivant’s NIL deal remain undisclosed, but sources suggest it’s among the most lucrative for a collegiate wide receiver this year. His departure from Florida and subsequent move to Georgia intensifies the longstanding rivalry between the two programs. As the Bulldogs bolster their receiving corps with this high-profile acquisition, all eyes will be on Sturdivant’s impact in the upcoming season and the evolving landscape of NIL influence in college football.
