Florida football defensive lineman Caleb Banks, who has been out for most of the season with a foot injury, was upgraded to doubtful for Ole Miss in UF's initial SEC Availability Report on Nov. 12.
The 6-foot-6, 329-pound Banks returned to the Florida Gators after a breakout junior season in 2024 that included seven tackles for loss, 4.5 sacks, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery. But Banks first injured his foot in training camp, then re-aggravated the injury during UF's 20-10 loss on Sept. 13 at LSU. Banks underwent foot surgery the following week and has been sidelined since.
A preseason All-SEC defensive lineman, Banks has dropped from a projected first-round to projected second-round pick in next April's NFL Draft due to the injury.
In addition, redshirt sophomore running back Treyaun Webb is active for the first time this season after dealing with a lingering quad issue. Webb, who had rushed for 256 career yards and 3 TDs, has not appeared in a game for UF since Sept. 21, 2024 at Mississippi State.
In all, nine players are currently out for UF, including wide receiver Eugene Wilson III, who underwent ankle surgery and is sidelined for the remainder of the 2025 season.
UF (3-6, 2-4 SEC) plays at No. 7 Ole Miss (9-1, 5-1 SEC) on Nov. 15 (7 p.m., ESPN).
