SEC football fans now have more clarity on the status of their respective rosters ahead of Saturdays in the fall. The league instituted a new policy in 2024 that requires schools to submit official availability reports.

Each Wednesday-Saturday during SEC game weeks, both schools will share an availability report. It will be updated nightly, with one final ruling an hour before kickoff on Saturdays. Players must be listed as out (0% chance to play), doubtful (25% chance to play), questionable (50% chance to play), or probable (75% chance to play).

Kentucky will not have one of their best defensive players on Saturday against Florida.

Kentucky Availability Report

OUT

WR Troy Stellato
RB Jamarion Wilcox
DB Terhyon Nichols
DB Jaden Smith
LB Devin Smith
OL Aba Selm
WR David Washington Jr.
TE Elijah Brown
DL Tavion Gadson

PROBABLE

CB DJ Waller Jr.

A big change happened on Friday when starting defensive lineman Tavion Gadson was ruled out for Saturday after being listed as probable on Thursday and Friday. The redshirt sophomore has recorded 25 tackles, four tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks, and 18 pressures in 235 snaps. He has been one of UK’s best players this season but Gadson has battled injuries throughout his career. Meanwhile, things are trending in the right direction for DJ Waller Jr. this week. It would be the cornerbacks first game since Week 1 if he is able to go on Saturday night.
