Florida Gators to Face Mississippi State Without Star Receiver Eugene Wilson III
Wilson, who leads the team in receptions and yards, is sidelined due to a knee injury as the Gators seek to rebound from recent losses.
- Eugene Wilson III, Florida's leading receiver, has been ruled out for the upcoming game against Mississippi State due to a knee injury.
- Wilson, a sophomore with 13 receptions for 191 yards and a touchdown in two games, was injured during a victory against Samford.
- Coach Billy Napier is facing challenges with multiple key receivers out, including Kahleil Jackson for the season and Ja’Quavion Fraziars for the fourth consecutive game.
- Freshman Tank Hawkins is questionable, potentially leaving redshirt freshman Aidan Mizell, reserve Marcus Burke, or former walk-on Taylor Spierto to fill the gap.
- The Gators, currently 1-2, are under pressure to improve their offense and secure a win, with Napier's job reportedly at risk following recent defeats.
