Former Arkansas point guard Boogie Fland committed to reigning national champion Florida on Tuesday.

Fland and his representatives, who include Florida alumnus Mike Miller, confirmed the transfer with ESPN.

Fland attended this month's draft combine before withdrawing from 2025 NBA Draft consideration last week.

He averaged 13.5 points, 5.1 assists, 3.2 rebounds and 1.5 steals in 21 games (18 starts) as a freshman for coach John Calipari's Razorbacks in 2024-25.

Fland missed more than two months of the season with an injury to his right hand. He faced the Gators once, tallying 15 points, four assists and three rebounds in a 71-63 loss on Jan. 11 in Fayetteville, Ark.

A five-star recruit and McDonald's All-American, the 6-foot-2 Fland originally committed to Kentucky when Calipari still was the head coach.

He fills a vacancy with coach Todd Golden's Gators, with point guard Walter Clayton Jr. out of eligibility along with fellow backcourt starters Will Richard and Alijah Martin.
