How to watch the Florida Gators spring game Thursday night
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — The Florida Gators will wrap up spring football camp this Thursday night with the annual Orange and Blue Debut. This will be the second spring game for Billy Napier and the Gators.
Thursday night will be the first time for the fans to see new quarterback Graham Mertz. The Wisconsin transfer is one of 26 new players that will be taking the field under the lights for the first time as Gators.
“[We’re] certainly excited about all of the Gator Nation showing up really great opportunity, free admission, 7:30 in under the lights great weather hopefully, and looking forward to watching what I think is a team that has worked extremely hard,” Billy Napier said. “[I] can’t compliment this group enough, can’t compliment our staff enough, and certainly excited about a lot to watch, right, 27 new scholarship players, 17 freshmen, 10 scholarship, and then a core group of veterans that are coming back and really pleased with the progress that we’ve made.”
