Florida football RB Jadan Baugh discusses being strongest player on UF’s roster.
Baugh aims to improve his leadership skills and become a more versatile player, focusing on catching passes out of the backfield.He chose Florida over Arkansas and Alabama due to his relationship with the coaching staff, particularly running backs coach Jabbar Juluke.Baugh’s diverse high school experience playing multiple positions contributed to his football IQ.
