Episode Details

Florida Gators’ quarterback battle heats up as Aaron Philo emerges as the favorite for the 2026 starting job, but will Tramell Jones’ raw talent change the equation? With Buster Faulkner steering the offense and bringing his own man in, questions swirl about scheme fit, experience, and what it really takes to win in Gainesville.

Brandon Olsen examines Philo’s familiarity with Faulkner’s system, his composure in clutch moments, and accuracy in the short game, but raises concerns about deep-ball velocity heading into SEC competition. Meanwhile, Jones’ arm strength and athleticism add intrigue to the competition, especially with a developmental setback from last year’s injury. How will Faulkner’s career aspirations and the revamped receiver room impact this heated race? Tune in to Locked On Gators for sharp analysis, roster insights, and what fans can expect as the Florida Gators’ quarterback plans come into focus.
