Moving DJ Lagway for Aaron Philo would be a pivot Florida fans talk about for years

One of the worst-kept secrets right now in college football is that the Florida Gators are going to look at adding Georgia Tech QB Aaron Philo out of the transfer portal when it opens in January. Philo was the backup for the Yellow Jackets this season and was being groomed by now Florida OC Buster Faulkner to be the starter in Atlanta in 2026.

Philo to Florida is obviously not official, and in the world of modern college football, anything could change in an instant. But if Philo is brought to Gainesville after nudging DJ Lagway out the door, it will be an early pivot point that could define the Jon Sumrall Era down the road.
