The Florida Gators headed into the 2026 offseason with a lot of unknowns.
Who would be the head coach? Would DJ Lagway return for another season? Who could replace Lagway if he leaves?
Jon Sumrall is the answer to the first question. Lagway is now the starting quarterback for the Baylor Bears and his replacement in 2026 was officially named on Monday.
Jon Sumrall has announced his starter
With Florida set to open its season on Sept. 5 against Florida Atlantic, the time to name a starting quarterback has finally arrived.
Sumrall announced Monday that the team is preparing for Georgia Tech transfer Aaron Philo to be the starter in Week 1. Philo transferred to the Gators after Sumrall hired former Georgia Tech offensive coordinator Buster Faulkner.
