Bailey Stockton discusses touchdown reception from Florida teammate Aaron Philo

Florida wide receiver Bailey Stockton spoke with reporters on Monday regarding his 12-yard touchdown catch during the Gators' recent victory over Florida Atlantic. The score marked a reunion for Stockton and quarterback Aaron Philo, who were high school teammates before reuniting in Gainesville this season. Stockton emphasized the team's commitment to perimeter blocking and praised the performance of running back Jadan Baugh in the win.
