Jadan Baugh considered the transfer portal last year, but first-year coach Jon Sumrall did everything in his power to make sure that Baugh stayed in Gainesville.

The Gators struggled on offense last season, but Baugh was as good as any player on the team. He finished the 2025 season with 1,170 yards and eight touchdowns, despite seeing a loaded box all season.

Baugh is going to be the bell cow for the Florida offense, and if the Gators are able to remain in contention in the SEC, then he could be in the running for some postseason awards in December.
