SALT LAKE CITY, UT (WCJB): A few years ago … Micah handlogten bet on himself, shedding his redshirt and now he is living his dream as a pro … by Signing an Exhibit 10 deal with the Utah Jazz. Recently, Handlogten went to the transfer portal but decided to try his luck at the NBA.
The unselfish center fractured his leg back in 2024 during the SEC Tournament, but a year later, he is motivating the sideline, going through rehab. Then shocked Gator fans by shedding his redshirt to play his role to the Hilt as the Gators won their third national title.
Handlogten as Gator is a SEC regular season champion, a conference tourney title champ and a national champion for Florida.
And he remains a fan favorite to the Gator faithful.
Do not be surprised if he claws his way to a roster spot in Fall 2026.
