Having an impact off the bench in Florida’s 2025-26 season, Urban Klavžar and Isaiah Brown could have transferred to another school, increasing their chances of starting and making a name for themselves. Instead, they stayed with Florida, even as the Gators brought back four of last year's five starters. As a result, both players enter the 2026-27 season coming off the bench, giving Florida head coach Todd Golden consistency in his eight-man rotation, with one spot still open.
In a hard-fought battle, the No. 5 Gators (13-2, 4-1 SEC) ultimately fell to Vanderbilt 3-1 (13-2, 4-2 SEC) on Sunday for their second loss of the season.

Against a hungry South Carolina searching for its first Southeastern Conference win, Florida couldn’t afford to fizzle out. The No. 16 Gators (4-2, 2-2 SEC) fell to the Gamecocks (3-3, 1-3) 38-19 at home Saturday afternoon.
One week after suffering their first loss under head coach Jon Sumrall, the No. 16 Florida Gators (4-1, 2-1 SEC) return home to Ben Hill Griffin Stadium to battle the South Carolina Gamecocks (2-3, 0-3 SEC). Follow along for live updates.
