Former Florida center Micah Handlogten has committed to Ole Miss from the transfer portal while pursuing NCAA approval for a fifth season.

Handlogten entered the portal in April after playing 34 games, including two starts, for Florida last season. He averaged 4.1 points and 5.9 rebounds in 14.8 minutes per game. After a 2024 SEC tournament injury, he was initially expected to redshirt in 2024-25 but returned in February and played 16 games.

Handlogten also agreed to an Exhibit 10 deal with the Utah Jazz this summer. The NCAA has not publicly granted his fifth season, and it is unclear how the Jazz contract affects his eligibility. His expected Ole Miss role and official roster date have not been reported.
