The Florida Gators will start redshirt junior quarterback Luke Del Rio this week against the Vanderbilt Commodores. This will be the seventh start of Del Rio’s career at Florida.
Redshirt freshman Feleipe Franks entered the season as the starter but has been pulled from two of the team’s first three games in favor of Malik Zaire and Luke Del Rio. It was Del Rio that finished the comeback win against Kentucky, finishing 9-14 for 74 yards with a touchdown and interception.
Del Rio entered the Kentucky game with 5:54 remaining in the third quarter and the Gators trailing 24-14.
