Jadan Baugh is an American football running back for the Florida Gators.
High school career
Baugh attended Columbia High School in Decatur, Georgia. As a junior, he rushed for 306 yards and three touchdowns, before committing to Arkansas.[1] As a senior, he rushed 113 times for 1,583 yards and 18 touchdowns, while also hauling in 28 receptions for 508 yards and 7 touchdowns, before decommiting from Arkansas.[2] After reopening his recruitment, Baugh committed to play college football at the University of Florida.[3][4]
College career
Baugh started the season as the third-string running back behind Montrell Johnson Jr. and Treyaun Webb[5]. However, after injuries to both players[6][7], Baugh took on his most significant role yet in a game against Tennessee, rushing for 25 yards on 12 carries[8]. In his first career start on Week 7 against Kentucky, he rushed for 106 yards and a school-record five touchdowns, leading the Gators to a 48–20 victory.[9][10] As a result of his performance, he was named the SEC Freshman of the Week.[11] He was the starting running back in losses to both Georgia and Texas (recording a touchdown in the latter) before sharing starting duties with Johnson after his return from injury. Against LSU, Baugh had a crucial game-sealing 55-yard touchdown run in the dying minutes to guarantee a 27-16 win for the Gators[12].
