    "Loud for Three Minutes" ft. R.J. Raymond

    Three starters gone — including All-American center Jake Slaughter — and a brand-new position coach. Florida's offensive line got a total makeover this offseason, and today we're breaking down the whole room ahead of the 2026 season. In this episode: - A rebuilt trench — Florida lost Austin Barber, Jake Slaughter, and Damieon George Jr., so new OL coach Phil Trautwein hit the portal hard with four transfer additions- The Penn State pipeline — Trautwein brought Eagan Boyer and TJ Shanahan Jr. with him from Happy Valley; can they lock down left tackle and right guard?- Replacing an All-American — Georgia Tech transfer Harrison Moore vs. former five-star Jason Zandamela in the battle at center- The wildcard — Stanford transfer Emeka Ugorji started 8 games as a true freshman and is pushing for the right tackle job- The veterans — Knijeah Harris anchors left guard, plus where Caden Jones, Roderick Kearney, Bryce Lovett, and TJ Dice Jr. fit- Rotation or starting five? — Trautwein says he'll play as many linemen as earn it; what that means for the two-deep If you bleed orange and blue, hit SUBSCRIBE and turn on notifications so you never miss an episode! #GoGators #FloridaGators #GatorsFootball #JonSumrall #SEC #CollegeFootball #StadiumandGale

    "A Pack of Cigarettes"

    Florida football hasn't had a 1,000-yard rusher in a decade. Now they've got one coming back, and he might just be getting started. The Stadium and Gale crew is breaking down the two position groups that could define Jon Sumrall's first season in Gainesville: the running backs and wide receivers. Jadan Baugh returns after rushing for 1,170 yards, earning All-SEC honors, and joining Emmitt Smith and Errict Rhett as the only underclassmen in program history to crack 1,000 in a season. Behind him, Florida quietly built one of the deepest backfields in the country, adding Evan Pryor from Cincinnati and London Montgomery from ECU while Duke Clark makes a push after a big spring. Then there's the receiver room, which might be the strength of the entire roster. Vernell Brown III led the team in receiving as a freshman All-SEC pick. Dallas Wilson set true freshman records in his very first start before injuries cut his season short. And Auburn transfer Eric Singleton Jr. arrives already knowing Buster Faulkner's offense from their Georgia Tech days, where he posted back-to-back 700-plus yard seasons. Add spring game standout Micah Mays Jr. and a stacked group of transfers and freshmen fighting for snaps, and Faulkner wasn't kidding when he said Florida can roll six or seven receivers at you. We get into all of it: how Faulkner uses Baugh, the battle for carries behind him, whether Dallas Wilson takes over as WR1, the Singleton scheme fit, the depth guys nobody's talking about yet, and whether this skill group is good enough to turn 4-8 into something real in year one under Sumrall.
