    This is the running back I have been looking at the most during the recruiting cycle. I know we have other great backs but for some reason this young man is just different. He has size and power to play right now in the SEC and he's just a true freshman with zero college game experience.

    Like many here I am looking forward to seeing this young man ball out in the Orange and Blue on Steve Spurrier Field this coming season. Can't wait!





    Jadan Baugh is a freshman running back from Atlanta, Georgia, who embarked on his journey as an early enrollee for the Gators during the spring season.

    As a four-star prospect Baugh’s versatility on the field not only made him a highly-ranked prospect—he was the No. 24 rated running back in the country—but also allowed him to adapt quickly to the Gators team within his first few months on campus.

    When adjusting to playing a sport from high school to the collegiate level, many adjustments have to be made to make the player more successful in the realm of prominent athletes. Part of this adjustment is working with the strength and conditioning staff to improve their bodies.

    “His body looks incredible, and he has definitely made an adjustment between high school and college,” Columbia head football coach Greg Barnett said. “He has taken his lifts more seriously and nutrition as he is more conscious of his weight and what his body looks like.”

    I like what I saw from Jadan Baugh and how our defense actually gang tackled... for a change. Nice surprise on both sides.

    He was indeed a pleasant surprise. Spring game performance is what it is but I was impressed with his game. I’m looking forward to seeing him get on the field for us.

    Amazing lateral quickness for someone his size. Has great vision and anticipation.
