TAMPA − Florida football coach Jon Sumrall said the Gators have "two starting QBs" right now and offered no timeline on a decision to name a starter before UF's season opener on Sept. 5 against Florida Atlantic (7:45 p.m., SEC Network).
Sumrall enters his first fall camp with the Florida Gators undecided on whether to start redshirt sophomore Aaron Philio or redshirt freshman Tramell Jones Jr. at quarterback.
"I've met with both of those guys individually," Sumrall said at SEC Football Media Day. "I'll meet with them before we start training camp together. I'll meet with the whole room. Just because you start game 1 doesn't mean you start game 12 ... my timeline might be five minutes before a game before anybody finds out."
Philo, a transfer from Georgia Tech, played under new offensive coordinator Buster Faulkner with the Yellow Jackets and is more familiar with the scheme. Jones, though, impressed coaches this spring with his leadership ability and ability to throw the ball deep.
In UF's spring game, Philo completed 21-of-28 passes for 193 yards and 2 TDs but also threw two intercepions. Jones completed 13-of-17 passes for 210 yards and 2 TDs but was sacked three times.
