Texas A&M is optimistic about the return of key players Scooby Williams and Bryce Anderson from injury, both of whom have been absent in prior games. Additionally, backup offensive lineman Blake Ivy is listed on the injury report without playing yet this year. While the defense has managed well in their absence, the Aggies may look to utilize Williams against his former team, Florida.
On the other hand, Florida’s injury list is more extensive. Notable absentees include Caleb Banks, who is sidelined due to surgery, alongside several other players such as running back Treyaun Webb, EDGE LJ McCray, defensive back Aaron Gates, running back Ja’Kobi Jackson, and defensive back Dijon Johnson, who also missed a previous game against Texas.

One highlight of the matchup is Florida’s starting quarterback, DJ Lagway, who has personal ties to Texas A&M. Hailing from Willis, Texas, he had Texas A&M on his shortlist before committing to Florida. Lagway has expressed enthusiasm about returning to Kyle Field, where family, classmates, and coaches are expected to attend the game. This match represents his first start in Texas since he missed the last year’s game against Texas due to injury, and he recently performed well against Texas, throwing for 298 yards and two touchdowns.
Head coach Mike Elko of Texas A&M recognizes Lagway’s development as a quarterback since his recruitment. Meanwhile, Florida coach Billy Napier acknowledges Lagway’s connection to A&M as potentially invigorating, although he emphasizes that success will ultimately depend on the performance during the game.
