Florida will start junior quarterback Tramell Jones Jr. against Texas, according to sources who spoke with ESPN. The Gators’ coaching staff will decide during warm‑ups whether senior Aaron Philo will remain available as an emergency backup.
The decision comes as Florida looks to snap a two‑game losing streak. A win over Texas would give the Gators their first victory of the season and could halt the slide.
Jones Jr. has been listed as the team’s primary signal‑caller for the matchup, while Philo’s role is limited to serving as a contingency option should an injury occur before the game begins.
Texas, the Gators’ opponent, is expected to field its own starting lineup, though details about the opponent’s quarterback situation were not disclosed in the source material.
The final roster for the quarterback position will be confirmed in the pre‑game warm‑ups, at which point coaches will determine whether Philo will suit up as the backup.
