Florida has ruled seven players out due to injury ahead of Saturday's season finale in the Las Vegas Bowl against No. 14 (CFP) Oregon State.
You can find the Gators' final injury report of the year in its entirety below.
- TE Keon Zipperer (lower body) — out
- OL Richie Leonard IV (lower body) — out
- OL Jalen Farmer (upper body) — out
- LB Justin Pelic (upper body) — out
- CB Tre'Vez Johnson (upper body) — out
- CB Devin Moore (upper body) — out
- CB Ethan Pouncey (upper body) — out
Of note, Leonard, Farmer, Pelic, Johnson and Pouncey are additions to Florida's injury report as Zipperer and Moore had been sidelined since Week 10 and 7, respectively, due to their wounds.
Leonard's absence could prove to be the most crucial. He was in line to fill in for guard O'Cyrus Torrence, who declared for the NFL Draft on Dec. 4, after appearing in 11 games and starting one for Torrence in 2022.
Redshirt freshman and former Louisiana transfer Kamryn Waites, who stands at a whopping 6-foot-8, 373 pounds, is listed as Torrence's replacement at right guard against the Beavers.
Johnson's injury is also of significance for the game, leaving Florida without its primary STAR cornerback from this season. Junior Jadarrius Perkins is slated to fill in for Johnson in the secondary this weekend.
Additionally, 17 of the 18 scholarship players who have announced their intentions to transfer this offseason were not included on the depth chart. The lone player known to be leaving the program who is listed is outside linebacker David Reese.
Not to mention, Torrence, quarterback Anthony Richardson, wide receiver Justin Shorter and linebacker Ventrell Miller were absent as they've begun to pursue their NFL careers. Of the players who have declared for the draft, just defensive tackle Gervon Dexter and left tackle Richard Gouraige plan to participate in the Las Vegas Bowl.
Just 55 unique players are named on Florida's depth chart, across the offense, defense and special teams.
The Las Vegas Bowl is scheduled to kickoff at 2:30 p.m. ET/11:30 a.m. PT on Saturday, December 17 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nev.
