Florida football will take the stage at SEC media days on Wednesday, July 22, at the Marriott Water Street and JW Marriott in Tampa, Florida.

On that day, junior running back Jadan Baugh, junior linebacker Myles Graham and sophomore wide receiver Vernell Brown III will join Jon Sumrall in representing the Gators at the annual event, the conference announced on Tuesday.

Baugh enters his third year as the face of the football program following a 1,170-yard, eight-touchdown season in 2025, adding 33 catches for 210 yards and two scores while starting all 12 games. His efforts earned him spots on the coaches, AP and Phil Steele All-SEC Second Team as well as the Doak Walker and Paul Hornung Award watch lists.

Graham led the Gators with 76 total tackles last year, becoming the first UF linebacker to lead the team in tackles since 2021, while making his way into opposing backfields 17 times, resulting in eight quarterback hurries, two sacks and seven tackles-for-loss. The legacy standout also recorded four pass breakups last season, tying him for the second-most among FBS linebackers.

Brown, another Florida football legacy, played in 10 games as a freshman — starting six — and caught a team-leading 40 passes for 512 yards, becoming the first Gator true freshman in program history to pace the team in catches and receiving yards. He also served as the Gators' primary punt and kick returner for most of the season, adding another 261 yards in the return game, ranking him fifth in the nation among true freshmen in all-purpose yards.

SEC Network will once again bring the four-day event to a national audience. This will be the first time the city of Tampa and the state of Florida have hosted the SEC's preseason media event.
