Florida moves back to Aaron Philo for Kentucky in latest QB swap, AP source says
Aaron Philo gets another chance after Florida’s fourth quarterback change in four games as the Gators seek to stop a four-loss slide.
- On Thursday, sources confirmed Florida is returning to quarterback Aaron Philo for Saturday's game at Kentucky. The Gators are making their fourth quarterback change in as many games.
- Coaches have alternated between Philo and Tramell Jones Jr. in recent weeks after Philo suffered a shoulder injury last month. Jones started last week's home loss to Oklahoma but threw two interceptions in the 23-7 defeat.
- Philo has completed 70.5% of his passes for 1,367 yards with nine touchdowns and five interceptions this season. Jones has completed 65.8% of his passes for 712 yards, four touchdowns, and five interceptions.
- Coach Jon Sumrall said he "didn't think we played well enough at quarterback on Saturday" and plans to give Philo the remainder of the season to prove himself for 2027.
- Saturday's contest in Lexington kicks off at 6:15 p.m. and will be televised on ESPN. The Gators seek to break a three-game losing streak in Lexington, where they fell 38-7 to the Wildcats last year.
