Eric Singleton. Jr. is still considered a game-time decision ahead of kickoff against Ole Miss. Singleton has been nursing an ankle injury that he suffered in the win over FAU. On Florida’s first drive, he was rolled up on and has been out ever since. He tried to make it a go last week against Auburn but still wasn’t ready.
Singleton is considered a key piece of Florida’s offense for 2026. While he had a bit of a down year playing for Auburn in 2025, he had big years in 2024 and 2023 playing at Georgia Tech under Buster Faulker.
In Singleton’s absence, Bailey Stockton has been getting the bulk of the snaps in the slot.
Florida star wide receiver Eric Singleton (ankle) will be a game-time decision today against No. 4 Ole Miss but there’s optimism he could end up being available vs. the Rebels, sources tell @CBSSports.

Paul Finebaum thinks the Gators are better off with Jon Sumrall than Lane Kiffin
As part of the pregame festivities, SEC Nation was in Gainesville and had Paul Finebaum on during the pregame. He made a statement that would have been wild to think about 11 months ago:
“You have no idea how lucky you are. You have Jon Sumrall and not Lane Kiffin.”
We have explored this topic and this feeling that despite Florida’s all out efforts to land Kiffin, Sumrall has just been a better cultural fit. Ultimately Sumrall will have to win games for it to matter, but the whole point of Kiffin leaving Ole Miss is that he wanted a bigger spotlight.
But since arriving at LSU, he has seemed very uncomfortable when the spotlight is actually on him. Combine all the legal shenanigans surrounding him, and Finebaum might just have a point.
Phil Trautwein wants Gator fans to stop doing the Money Down
One of the topics that has divided Gator fans in recent years has been doing the “Money Down” on 3rd down. Florida started branding it heavily in 2015, but the problem is that it doesn’t contribute to the overall noise level. Opposing offenses would love it if fans rubbed their fingers together rather than making noise.
So while offensive line coach Phil Trautwein didn’t specifically day don’t do the “Money Down,” his implication is clear:
“Crowd noise causes confusion and confusion leads to mistakes. We need every person in the Swamp tomorrow to get LOUD. Save your voice today. Yell, scream, clap, and disrupt tomorrow! 130 decibels+ on third down! LET’S GO!!”
