GAINESVILLE — Florida starting receiver Vernell Brown III will miss his first Georgia game with a shoulder injury, leaving the Gators without one their most dynamic weapons and productive players.
The former Orlando Jones standout and tailback Jadan Baugh are tied with 726 all-purpose yards, including a team-high 451 receiving yards for Brown. Among the true freshman’s team-leading 32 receptions are three of UF’s four pass plays of at least 40 yards.
The 5-foot-11 ¼, 178-pound Brown has been a bright spot on an offense averaging an SEC-low 17 points against FBS competition.
