New UF coach Jon Sumrall will coach Tulane tonight against North Texas The ultimate test is winning on the field, but for less than a week on the job Jon Sumrall is proving to be a very good hire for the Florida Gators. After scoring big with an enthusiastic introductory press conference in which Hall of Fame Florida coaches Steve Spurrier and Urban Meyer fully endorsed him, Sumrall held on to the bulk of a recruiting class that some thought would disintegrate and made two ou

While Florida’s class is small, only 18 early commitments, it includes some players who could make immediate impacts.

The nightmare of 2025 ended Saturday night and no one was concerned with the spurning of Lane Kiffin or the 4-8 record, or even that it was a bitter rival that Florida took care of on Senior Night. For one night, all that mattered was the Gators dominated an opponent and the cool vibe
