Vernell Brown III, the 5-foot-11, 178-pound WR for the Gators, has been the shining light despite their poor run this season. The 4-str freshman adopted a dual role for his high school as a receiver and primary return man. He caught 70 passes for 1363 yards and 10 touchdowns on offense and scored four times on special teams with 3 punt kick returns and a kickoff return. Brown III was an early commit to Florida and is one of the two true freshman receivers to start for the Gators in their 2025 campaign.

He is not just a local kid from Florida; he carries a three-generation legacy with him as a Gator. As we are about to witness Brown III more on the field, it’s time to learn about who he is off the field, including his parents and their connection to the Gators.
