Injuries continue to pile up: Center T.J. McCoy is out for the season and Malik Zaire is day-to-day ahead of UAB. McCoy is the second starting offensive lineman that the Gators have lost for the season in the last two weeks. Feleipe Franks will get the start for now due to Zaire’s potential unavailability. Shannon also noted that Dre Massey is Florida’s third option at quarterback, not Kadarius Toney, because Massey has repped more at the position recently due to Toney’s lingering injury. (Robbie Andreu, Gainesville Sun)
Brandon Powell likely off punt returns: Wide receivers Freddie Swain and Dre Massey will handle the duties against UAB. Interim head coach Randy Shannon explains that Powell has a tendency to lean right when catching the ball, instead of catching it forward. (Robbie Andreu, Gainesville Sun)
You can watch Shannon’s comments to the media in their entirety at the link below:
