Yesterday reports emerged that the Florida Gators are trying to make a play for Georgia Tech's 2026 projected starting quarterback, Aaron Philo, and earlier today The Morning Shift talked about why it might be tough for Brent Key to keep Philo in a Yellow Jackets uniform for the upcoming season.

“If they can retain the talent at the receiver position it’s much better than anything Tech has at that position. I’m sorry it’s just true, Dallas Wilson, Vernell Brown, Vernell Brown was an All SEC Freshman, you’ve got Trey Wilson down there, who if he comes back those three receivers are better than anything Georgia Tech has at receiver.” Beau Morgan said

Between the upgrade in wide receiver talent, the fact that former Georgia Tech Offensive Coordinator Buster Faulker is now the OC at Florida, and the interest the Gators have shown in the Georgia Tech quarterback, Philo transferring to be the starting QB at Florida would make a lot of sense for him, and shouldn’t come as a surprise to Georgia Tech fans if it ends up happening.
