Aaron Philo Takes Over as Florida's New QB | Florida Gators Football News

Aaron Philo, a three-star recruit and redshirt sophomore transferring from Georgia Tech, has earned the starting quarterback role for Florida’s 2024 season — beating out fellow freshman Tramell Jones Jr. Though he saw limited action last year behind Haynes King, Philo’s edge came from his familiarity with Florida’s new offensive system: his former coordinator at Georgia Tech, Buster Faulkner, is now leading Florida’s offense. The Gators open their season at home against Florida Atlantic on September 5th at 7:45 PM ET on the SEC Network — watch to see if Philo can rise to the occasion.
