GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Eighteen Florida Gators will take part in Senior Day festivities prior to Saturday’s season finale against the No. 5 Florida State Seminoles.

The Gators and Noles are set for a 7 p.m. kickoff on ESPN in front of a sold-out Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. The sellout is the fifth consecutive this season and ninth overall under head coach Billy Napier as there were four games sold out in his first season last year after having four sellouts since 2018 prior.

“Gator Nation as a whole, you know, they can have a significant impact on the game. I mean, we have one of the best if not the best venue in all of college football, and we play there Saturday night in a rivalry game, one that is historic,” Napier said on Wednesday night before the game.

“You know, I was talking to the players after practice today. You know, when I was growing up, this was the game, I used to watch this game. It’s humbling to be a part of and it’s something that I think each one of us, we have to have respect for that. But our fans can make a significant impact relative to how they can affect how Florida State operates on offense, especially with an inexperienced, backup quarterback. So, it’s been rowdy in there in the past, but we need it to be special and we’re going to need them to do their part Saturday night.”
