Florida will be without Dallas Wilson and Eugene Wilson III on Saturday when it takes on Kentucky, but the Gators got some good news on Thursday night regarding 2 other wide receivers.
Vernell Brown III and Aiden Mizell were both listed as questionable on the initial availability report Florida handed into the SEC on Wednesday night. On the updated report 24 hours later, neither was listed at all.
Running back Duke Clark, also listed as questionable on Wednesday, was completely off the report on Thursday.
That would suggest all 3 skill position players will be available on Saturday against the Wildcats.
Brown is Florida’s leading receiver this season with 451 yards on 32 receptions. He did not play last week in the loss to Georgia.
Mizell has been a regular on the injury report this season, appearing in just 4 games so far. He has 11 receptions for 107 yards and a score.
Clark has played in only 3 games so far, logging 15 carries for 58 yards. Jadan Baugh has been the bellcow back in the Gators’ backfield, with 132 carries in 8 games. Ja’Kobi Jackson is the only other Florida running back with at least 20 rushing attempts this year, though he will not play against Kentucky.

Kickoff for Saturday’s game in Lexington is set for 7:30 p.m. ET on SEC Network.
