Tramell Jones Jr. Leads Florida to 27-24 Upset of No. 7 Texas

Tyler Longview, TX, October 17, 2026 —

Florida quarterback Tramell Jones Jr. led the Gators to a 27-24 upset victory over No. 7 Texas in Austin, according to the available account. It was Jones’ first career start.

The result gave Florida a three-point victory over a Texas team identified as No. 7. The account describes the outcome as an upset but does not provide a date, the teams’ records, or details about how the game unfolded. It also does not identify other players or explain Jones’ individual statistics.

Further details about the matchup were not provided, including scoring by quarter, the sequence of scoring plays, or any late-game developments. The available information does not say whether either team reported injuries, how the teams prepared for the game, or what coaches said afterward. No postgame quotations were included.

The account also does not specify the season or provide additional background on Jones’ career before his first start. As a result, the confirmed details are limited to the final score, the teams and location, Texas’ No. 7 ranking, and Jones’ role as Florida’s quarterback in his first career start.

Florida’s 27-24 win is the central fact reported: Jones started at quarterback, and the Gators defeated Texas in Austin. More information would be needed to describe the game’s key moments, assess individual performances, or place the result in a broader season context.
