The Florida Gators will face the Tulane Green Wave in the 2024 Union Home Mortgage Gasparilla Bowl. This marks the Gators' second appearance in the bowl game in four seasons and an opportunity to end their season on a high note.
, it's a chance to end an up-and-down season on a high note while snapping a three-game losing streak in bowl games.
"I mean, I'm gonna tell you, man, our guys were excited when we found out we're gonna be in Tampa, was a big deal," head coach Billy Napier said. "And, to play on the 20th, we'd be lying if we weren't happy with that. I think these guys have an opportunity to finish the right way in our state and then be home for Christmas and have a couple weeks off before we get back at it in January. So good to be in Tampa. Obviously, Gator Nation will be on full display.
"There's a list of players who redshirted this year that will be available for the bowl game - Amir is one of those," Napier said. "Amir's been able to take reps with our second group the majority of the season. He's really made a lot of progress. He's tough. He still has a ton of room for growth. He's improving as a route runner, just his overall knowledge of the system. But he's not scared. He's physical. Every day I see him get a little bit better.
