Tight end Kyle Pitts, wide receivers Kadarius Toney and Trevon Grimes, and cornerback Marco Wilson have opted out in preparation for the NFL Draft. Wide receiver Jacob Copeland shared that he won't play due to a COVID-19 diagnosis. Safety Shawn Davis will miss his third game in a row due to injury. Specifics aren't public knowledge regarding linebacker Ventrell Miller and defensive tackle Kyree Campbell, however, it was reported that they will be out amid team-wide "injuries and opt outs," by Yahoo Sports before the game. Campbell was not included on the list, but he did not start the game.
Head coach Dan Mullen shared on Tuesday that Florida expected to have "about 60" scholarship players available for the bowl game, and that it would serve as an opportunity for younger players to take on more meaningful snaps.

"Our guys are excited with the opportunity to get out there and go play," said Mullen. "So there are guys that have kind of been in maybe that supporting actor role now that are going into the lead role in the show tomorrow night. And so I think those guys are excited for that opportunity to get out there and go make plays."
