GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Jon Sumrall made his first official hire as Florida's football coach Thursday, bringing aboard Kentucky's Brad White as defensive coordinator.
The 43-year-old White spent the past eight years in Lexington, including seven of those in charge of the Wildcats' defense. Sumrall and White overlapped on that side of the ball between 2019 and 2021, including working their final year together as co-DCs. Sumrall left Kentucky to become Troy's coach in 2022 and spent the past two years at Tulane.
Florida Gators Make Another Big Coaching Move After Jon Sumrall Hire
The Florida Gators finally have their new head coach in place following the decision to hire former Tulane lead man Jon Sumrall. It's a move that they're very happy with, but the hire has been met with mixed reactions from the fan base.
Sumrall has had a great four-year run as a college football head coach. In his two years with Troy back in 2022 and 2023, he compiled a 23-4 overall record. In 2024 and 2025 with the Green Wave, he went 19-7.
His track record is rock solid, but winning at Florida is going to be a much more difficult task. Coaching against the SEC is not easy. Sumrall has his work cut out for him to get the Gators back to being a serious national championship threat.
