Eugene Wilson III is considered a game-time decision for Florida’s Week 3 matchup against Texas A&M in College Station.
Wilson, who leads the Gators in receptions and receiving yards this season, suffered a lower-body injury at practice this week and was considered to be questionable heading into Saturday. Some reports indicated that he was expected to be out against the Aggies, but according to Matt Zenitz of 247Sports that notion seems to have flipped.
There now, at least, appears to be some optimism in the early stages of Saturday morning. The Gators and Aggies kick off at 3:30 p.m. ET.

As you can tell from the above clip, Wilson is as speedy as they come. Head coach Billy Napier told media that he hit 23.42 MPH on this run, apparently a team record.
The Gators will need that speed on offense against the Aggies. We’ll see how it plays out soon enough.
