Kahleil Jackson executes successful trick play for Florida against Auburn
Summary

Florida wide receiver Kahleil Jackson performed a successful trick play during the Gators' 44-39 victory at Auburn on September 19. Jackson, who had previously thrown an interception on a similar play against Vanderbilt three years ago, completed a 48-yard pass to tight end Amir Jackson. He had practiced the play extensively and said Florida's coaching staff found a favorable defensive look to call it. Coach Jon Sumrall initially hesitated but ultimately approved the trick play after assessing Auburn's coverage. Jackson's journey back to the field has been challenging due to injuries over the last few seasons.
