Florida made three-star running back [autotag]Parker Jenkins[/autotag]’ list of top 12 schools on Sunday along with Northwestern, Arkansas, Oklahoma State, Boston College, Florida State, SMU, Ole Miss, Houston, Oregon, LSU and Tennessee.
The 247Sports composite ranks him as 367th overall prospect and the 25th best running back in the country. Jenkins hails from Houston, Texas, and the Tigers currently hold the crystal ball prediction.
Even though Jenkins dropped a large list, it’s impressive Florida made his list of top schools considering it only offered him on May 4.
The Gators have quite a few running backs ahead on their board like five-star [autotag]Richard Young[/autotag], four-stars [autotag]Cedric Baxter Jr[/autotag]. and [autotag]Treyaun Webb[/autotag].
They sit in a great spot for Baxter and Webb currently. Head coach [autotag]Billy Napier[/autotag] and running backs coach [autotag]Jabbar Juluke[/autotag] want to take two running backs this cycle due to the committee approach they take in the backfield.
Florida likely wouldn’t push for Jenkins unless they miss on Baxter and Webb.
