Texas football vs Florida: Gators QB Aaron Philo uncertain to play due to reported injury

The Florida Gators may be without their starting quarterback, Aaron Philo, for their upcoming game against the Texas Longhorns on Saturday. According to multiple reports, Philo is dealing with a shoulder injury that resulted from an incident late in their game against South Carolina. As a result, he is listed as questionable for the Texas match at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium.

Philo, a 21-year-old who is in his third collegiate season, is making his first appearance with Florida after transferring from Georgia Tech. He has thrown for a total of 1,341 yards, nine touchdowns, and three interceptions this season. However, he did carry the ball 13 times and was sacked three times in the team's recent 38-19 home loss to South Carolina.

If Philo is unable to play, sophomore quarterback Tramell Jones will make his first career start. Jones could potentially have an advantage over his opponent due to the absence of Florida's star wide receiver Vernell Brown III, who missed the last two games due to a knee injury but might be available for Saturday's game. In addition, Florida's running back Jadan Baugh, who leads the nation in rushing touchdowns, will likely continue to be a crucial player regardless of the outcome of the quarterback situation.
