Sumrall’s Gators Bounce-Back Bid | Florida Gators Football News

Florida Gators are poised for a major turnaround under new head coach Jon Sumrall, who just led Tulane to the College Football Playoff. After a brutal 4-8 season with a 2-6 SEC record, the program fired its coach mid-season and brought in Sumrall to rebuild. With a solid roster foundation, a new offensive coordinator from Georgia Tech, and a promising QB in Aaron Philo, the Gators are ready to shock the nation. Kickoff for their 2026 season opener against Florida Atlantic is set for Sept. 5 at 7:45 PM ET. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
