x/george-floyd
— Sep 6, 2026
Florida revived its controversial Gator Bait cheer at the season opener, six years after it was banned due to its racist imagery, with the band performing the cue as fans chanted. The move comes as new UF president Stuart Bell signals openness to the tradition amid a broader post-Floyd-era reckoning and leadership changes following Kent Fuchs’s ban and shifting DEI policies.

Sumrall actively kept Baugh from entering the transfer portal, including a Christmas Eve visit, and praised his work ethic as the Gators aim for back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons and continued offensive punch.
