GAINESVILLE — The Florida Gators will open the season Saturday at Ole Miss without promising sophomore offensive lineman Ethan White, who is out following minor knee surgery.
“We expected him to be a starter for us,” Mullen said. “It’s just the trickle-down effect. It really hurts the depth.”
Mullen said Texas transfer wide receiver Ethan Pouncey is out for the season following hip surgery. Lakeland freshman athlete Finley Graham is out with a broken arm.
White was among several players working at center and expected to be a key contributor in 2020 following his remarkable transformation since his arrival.
