Florida junior running back Jadan Baugh opens his 2026 campaign this Saturday at The Swamp against Florida Atlantic. The Gators host the matchup at 7:45 p.m. on the SEC Network. Baugh enters the season coming off a 2025 performance in which he rushed for 1,170 yards and eight touchdowns. No Florida player has ever recorded back-to-back 1,000-yard rushing seasons in program history. Ahead of the opener, Baugh has focused on conditioning and expanding his role in the offense under first-year coordinator Buster Faulkner. Faulkner has emphasized Baugh’s development as a complete back, specifically highlighting his blocking responsibilities in pass protection and his contributions as a receiver out of the backfield.
