  09/29/26 - Jadan Baugh, Jr/2028, Florida, 6-1, 225 (DS#1 RB) + More +

  09/28 WEEK 4 SEC OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Florida's Jadan Baugh, a junior running back from Atlanta, Ga., helped power the Gators offense with 142 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns on 29 attempts, plus one reception for 12 yards, in No. 21 Florida's 52-28 win over No. 4 Ole Miss. The 142 rushing yards, 103 of which came after contact, marked Baugh's fifth straight game with more than 100 rushing yards, making him the third Gator to complete the feat all-time alongside Fred Taylor (1997) and Emmitt Smith (1987, 1988). The 52 points put up by Baugh and the Gators' offense tied Florida's most points scored against a top-five team since beating Florida State 52-20 in the 1996 national championship game. Baugh has now rushed for more than 135 yards and multiple touchdowns in all four games, with three rushing touchdowns in three games this season, while boasting 83 carries for 600 yards and 11 touchdowns (7.2 yards per carry, 150.0 yards per game).

Baugh's 10 rushing touchdowns through 3.5 games made him the fastest Gator to reach that mark, surpassing Tim Tebow's record of seven games in 2007. His 11 rushing touchdowns tie former Alabama running back Najee Harris (2020) and LSU running back Leonard Fournette (2015) for the most rushing touchdowns through four games by an SEC player since the 1992 expansion. Baugh has also run for 866 rushing yards over the past five games, which ranks fourth for the most rushing yards in a five-game stretch, behind Emmitt Smith's marks of 904, 886 and 868. - SEC Football

  09/28 WEEK 4 SEC OFFENSIVE LINEMAN OF THE WEEK: Florida's Bryce Lovett, a senior right tackle from Rockledge, Fla., helped lead an offensive line that powered the Gators to 498 yards - 302 rushing and 196 passing - while giving up no sacks and only one tackle for loss and one quarterback hurry in No. 21 Florida's 52-28 win over No. 4 Ole Miss. Lovett and the offensive line also helped produce two 100-yard rushers, the first time that has happened for Florida since 2022. In his 69 snaps on offense, Lovett did not give up a sack, quarterback hit, quarterback hurry or pressure, and he posted a team-high PFF pass-blocking grade of 85.3. - SEC Football

  09/28 WEEK 4 SEC SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Florida's London Montgomery, a senior running back and kick returner from Scranton, Pa., returned three kicks for 128 total yards (43.0 average) with a long of 74 yards in No. 21 Florida's 52-28 win over No. 4 Ole Miss. He had two kick returns of 40-plus yards, both coming in the third quarter. Following an Ole Miss touchdown at 13:06, Montgomery returned the kickoff 41 yards to the Florida 41-yard line to help kick-start a drive that ended in a touchdown. After Ole Miss's following drive also ended in a touchdown, Montgomery returned the ensuing kickoff 74 yards to the Ole Miss 26-yard line to give the Gators a short field and help them extend their lead. Montgomery also ran the ball once for three yards to finish with 131 all-purpose yards. - SEC Football

  09/28/26 - Jadan Baugh, Jr/2028, Florida, 6-1, 225 (DS#1 RB) + More +

  Florida made a massive jump in The Associated Press Top 25 on Sunday and landed in the top 10 for the first time in five years while four new teams joined the rankings in a major shuffle. The Gators' 24-point win over then-No. 4 Mississippi under first-year coach Jon Sumrall on Saturday earned them a 13-rung promotion to No. 8, their highest ranking since 2020 and first top-10 appearance since 2021. Texas, Georgia and Notre Dame continued to hold the top three spots, Miami was a season-high No. 4 and Ohio State moved up two spots to No. 5. Indiana, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi and BYU completed the top 10. The Longhorns received 62 first-place votes from the media voting panel, four more than last week, after they held off Tennessee 20-17 in their first road game. Georgia, coming off a convincing win over Oklahoma and outscoring opponents by an average of 41.5 points per game, got six first-place votes, double its number last week. Miami and Indiana each received one first-place vote. - AP College Football

  09/21 WEEK 3 SEC OFFENSIVE LINEMAN OF THE WEEK: Harrison Moore, Florida,...Florida's Harrison Moore, a junior center from Southlake, Texas, helped anchor an offense that went for 495 total yards - 243 rushing and 253 passing - in the Gators' 44-39 win at Auburn, their first win in Auburn since 1999. Moore did not allow a sack, quarterback hit or quarterback hurry in 81 snaps as Florida averaged 4.6 yards per carry on 53 attempts and produced a 100-yard rusher. The Gators strung together six consecutive scoring drives of 65-plus yards, accounting for 34 points from the first quarter through the third quarter, and punted only once during the entire game. - SEC Football

He returned a punt 64 yards near the beginning of the second quarter to give the Gators a 17-3 lead, and then on the following possession returned a punt 70 yards for a touchdown to become the second player in program history, joining Jacquez Green in 1996, to return back-to-back punts for touchdowns. His 173 punt return yards broke the program record of 155 punt return yards set by Brandon James in 2007 and tied the program record for punt return touchdowns in a season. - SEC Football

  If Tulane's Jon Sumrall is Florida's next head coach, he should make keeping Jadan Baugh a priority. Baugh ran for a career-high 266 yards and two touchdowns - the second-most rushing yards in school history - and Florida denied rival Florida State a chance to become bowl eligible with a 40-21 victory Saturday in the Swamp. "I always try to go out and play my hardest because you never know who's watching," Baugh said. "Your first impression is your last impression." This one will linger. The sophomore carried 38 times, punishing the Seminoles all night, and finished with the program's most yards on the ground since Emmitt Smith tallied 316 against New Mexico in 1989. His last touch was a 12-yard TD scamper on a fourth-and-3 play with less than a minute remaining in which he broke two tackles. Baugh said interim coach Billy Gonzales told him to slide and not score. His response: "Don't do me like that." No one complained after he put an exclamation point on a dominant performance. "Jadan Baugh ran like somebody was trying to kill him all night," center Jake Slaughter said.

DJ Lagway added three touchdown passes for the Gators (4-8), who ended a four-game losing streak, won for the first time since firing coach Billy Napier in mid-October, and provided a final glimpse of what many thought they could be this season. Florida State (5-7) played its first game since announcing coach Mike Norvell would return next season. But the Seminoles lost for the seventh time in nine games and failed to extend their season. They also lost to Florida for the fifth time in the last seven meetings. Baugh had a lot to do with the latest one. He became the first Florida player since 2004 to top 200 yards rushing against the 'Noles. "We came into (the game) saying that's a guy you have to stop. For him to have that kind of production is a complete failure," Norvell said. Equally impressive, Baugh became the program's first 1,000-yard rusher since Kelvin Taylor in 2015. Baugh became the 10th player in school history to top the single-season milestone, joining a list that includes Smith, Fred Taylor and Errict Rhett. Baugh is the first underclassman since Smith in 1987 to accomplish the feat. Lagway, Baugh and others put on a show in the team's season finale - an audition of sorts for Florida's next coach. After missing out on Lane Kiffin, the Gators have targeted Sumrall as Napier's replacement and could make it official as early as Sunday. - Florida/AP College Football

  Jadan Baugh ran for a career-high 150 yards and a touchdown, DJ Lagway threw for 280 yards to offset two interceptions and Florida beat Mississippi State 23-21 on Saturday in what may have been Gators coach Billy Napier's finale. The Gators (3-4, 2-2 Southeastern Conference) intercepted Blake Shapen's pass in the waning seconds with the Bulldogs (4-3, 0-3) within field-goal range. Defensive tackle Michai Boireau got the pick, sending the home crowd into a frenzy. Florida handed Mississippi State its 15th consecutive loss in league play, but a comedy of errors should be enough for athletic director Scott Stricklin to show Napier the door.

Napier improved to 22-23 overall and 12-16 in league play in four seasons, but this one included enough head-scratching decisions that Stricklin could easily justify firing him after a win. Most notably, Napier dialed up a QB keeper on a third-and-1 play in the waning minutes that gave the Bulldogs a chance down the stretch. He also called a keeper on a third-and-7 play earlier, took consecutive penalties that turned a chip-shot field goal into a long one, primarily ran the ball to get to the goal line and then threw incomplete three times, botched the final possession before halftime and was flagged for having 12 men on the field during a 2-point try. Florida also had a long touchdown called back because of a penalty for the fourth time this season. Still, the Gators were talented enough to overcome the miscues. Napier, however, had little leeway left for any sort of clunker. Shapen threw for 324 yards, including 155 to Brenen Thompson. Davon Booth ran for 105 yards and two touchdowns. - Florida/AP College Football

  WEEK 7 AMERICAN CONFERENCE SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Patrick Durkin, RFr., K, Tulane,...Durkin supplied all of Tulane's scoring in the first half and finished with 14 points in the Green Wave's 26-19 win against East Carolina. Durkin went 4-for-4 on field goals, connecting from 30, 29, 21 and 40 yards, and made both second-half PAT kicks to help Tulane improve to 5-1. Durkin is one of four NCAA FBS kickers who is perfect on at least 10 field goal attempts this season (13-of-13). - American Conference Football
