Florida’s starting quarterback Aaron Philo is dealing with a shoulder injury ahead of Saturday’s matchup against No. 7 Texas, and his availability is in doubt.
Multiple outlets report that Philo’s status remains uncertain as the team approaches kickoff, with coverage citing an injury concern that could affect his ability to play. If he is unable to start, outlets say sophomore Tramell Jones Jr. would make his first career start against Texas.
The reporting focuses on the uncertainty around Philo’s health and what Florida’s plan would be if he misses the game, with accounts differing mainly in how strongly they phrase the likelihood of his absence. Overall, the sources agree that the shoulder injury is the key factor driving doubts about his participation, and that Jones Jr. would be positioned to start if needed.
