Gators Eye Elite RB Zaiden Jernigan | Florida Gators Football News

Florida’s Gators are locked in a fierce battle to land elite sophomore running back Zaiden Jernigan, the top RB prospect in Mississippi and one of the nation’s best for his age. Standing at 5’10” and packing 195 pounds, Jernigan already boasts over 3,600 all-purpose yards and 48 touchdowns across two stellar seasons — including leading his high school to a state championship game. With offers from 24 schools and visits scheduled with top programs like Alabama and Mississippi State, Florida is making early moves to secure his commitment ahead of signing day. His track speed (near 11.2-second 100m) adds another dimension to his appeal, making him a rare dual-threat talent in the 2028 class.
