We are officially midway through the 2026 season for Florida, and it is time to hand out some progress report grades. Florida’s offense was high-flying through four games and hit a roadblock in the past two. 

With that in mind these are our mid-season progress report grades for Florida’s offense. For the purposes of this list, we are looking at the 16 players who have played at least 100 snaps this season.

Florida Progress Report Grades Through Six Games

A

Jadan Baugh

Vernell Brown III

Even though Baugh’s Heisman campaign is over, it’s hard to blame Baugh for the past two weeks. He has had next to no running room to work with. What has also been clear these past two weeks is how valuable Vernell Brown III is to this offense, as no one else has been able to provide a vertical threat.

B

Harrison Moore

Duke Clark

Dallas Wilson

Moore has some early snap issues, but he has cleaned those up and hasn’t been the problem along the line. Duke Clark has been capable of some big plays of his own, and while Dallas Wilson hasn’t emerged as a bona fide star just yet, he is on track to reach 700 yards for the season.

C

Aaron Philo

Bailey Stockton

Lacota Dippre

Bryce Lovett

Knijeah Harris

Luke Harpring

Amir Jackson

A lot of these guys would have been bumped up into B terrirory four games in, but a lot of these guys have taken a step back the past two weeks. Philo and Stockton are the two we struggle most to place, especially since Stockton had 127 yards against South Carolina. But he just isn’t the same threat that VB3 is, and the offense just isn’t the same with him.

Likewise, as we have been stating, we aren’t going to call Philo the problem, but it is clear that he needs a strong supporting cast around him to be effective versus someone who can create magic on his own.

D

Emeka Ugorji

TJ Abrams

TJ Shanahan Jr.

Kahleil Jackson

The two wide receivers we have on this list have been largely ineffective despite the snap totals they have received. The two offensive linemen on this list have just been beaten like a drum in the past two games, and it’s at the point where no amount of smoke and mirrors can hide their deficiencies.
