Florida Coach Jon Sumrall Perfectly Trolled Texas After Gators' Comeback Win

Vernell Brown III - Could be available for Week 9 Brown (knee) could be available for Week 9 against Georgia on Oct. 31, according to Cam Parker of SI.com. "So he's still not ready for maybe game action," head coach Jon Sumrall sa...

Impact Brown was considered doubtful to play in Week 7 but didn't suit up in the end, but based on Sumrall's words, the star wideout is trending in the right direction. The Gators are on a bye in Week 8, so the hope is that Brown can finalize his recovery over the next two weeks. That would put him in line to play against Georgia in a marquee SEC matchup Oct. 31. Brown has 17 catches for 271 yards and two touchdowns in his four outings in 2026.

Aaron Philo - Expected back in couple weeks Head coach Jon Sumrall said Philo is considered a "couple week deal" as he works back from a shoulder injury, according to Cam Parker of SI.com.

Impact Philo missed Saturday's game and is still working through a shoulder ailment. The quarterback has an upcoming bye that will grant him extra time to recover. There remains a chance that he could return after the team's bye week against Georgia on Oct. 31. It was noted that Florida is set to keep bringing Philo back into the fold gradually as he gets more comfortable.

Vernell Brown III - Not starter at Texas Brown (knee) is not a starter for Saturday's game at Texas, Charlie Jones of WFUR reports.

Impact Brown was a true game-time decision, so his immediate availability depended on how Florida would begin the game. The wideout not starting does not rule him out, though it puts into greater question whether he can play at Texas.

OCTOBER 17 • ROTOWIRE

Bailey Stockton - Good to go Saturday Stockton (back) is good to go for Saturday's game at Texas, Pete Thamel of ESPN reports.

Impact Florida's receiver corps will be enhanced with an available Stockton, whose 2026 production features 23 receptions (on 29 targets) for 258 yards and two touchdowns. Florida can use his offensive threat, not only with the Gators potentially down its starting quarterback Aaron Philo (shoulder) but also after Missouri and South Carolina halted their once-excellent momentum earlier this month with heavy defeats.

OCTOBER 17 • ROTOWIRE

Tramell Jones Jr. - Starting vs. Longhorns Jones will be starting under center during Saturday's game against Texas, Pete Thamel of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Jones will fill in for quarterback Aaron Philo (shoulder) during this contest, marking his first start of the season. The redshirt freshman quarterback has completed 79.3 percent of his passes for 252 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions across four appearances this season.

OCTOBER 17 • ROTOWIRE

Aaron Philo - Game-time decision for Saturday Philo (shoulder) is a game-time decision for Saturday's game versus Texas, per the SEC availability report.

Impact Philo, who is not expected to start Saturday, is now considered a game-time decision for the difficult matchup at Texas. He may only be available as a backup even if he warms up, so it may be best to avoid him especially against a tough defense. If he isn't able to play, Terrell Jones will likely get the starting nod.
