Florida sophomore combo guard Trey Bonham is entering the transfer portal, a source confirmed to the Gainesville Sun on Thursday afternoon,

The 6-foot, 176-pound Bonham, a transfer from VMI, appeared in 30 games for the Gators, averaging 5.6 points and 1.1 assists.

Bonham started 13 games and scored 20 or more points in three games. But Bonham's role reduced during SEC play as freshman guard Riley Kugel emerged. He played less than 10 minutes in each of his last seven games.
