Florida football makes top 5 for its top running back target

Florida made four-star running back Cedric Baxter Jr.’s top five schools on Saturday along with Texas A&M, Miami, Arkansas and Texas.

Florida, head coach [autotag]Billy Napier[/autotag] and running backs coach [autotag]Jabbar Juluke[/autotag] are looking to sign two running backs this cycle. Their top targets are four-star [autotag]Cedric Baxter Jr[/autotag]., out of Orlando, Florida, and four-star [autotag]Treyuan Webb[/autotag], out of Jacksonville, Florida. Webb named the Gators his leader following the Orange and Blue game on April 14. Baxter dropped his top five on Saturday, which included Florida and Texas A&M, Miami, Arkansas and Texas.

The 247Sports composite rankings have Baxter 46th-best player overall and the fourth-best at his position. He finished his junior season with 1,718 yards and 26 touchdowns while averaging over eight yards per carry. Baxter also caught seven passes for 102 yards and another score.

So far in 2022, he has visited Florida three times while stopping by Miami twice, UCF, USC, Texas, Texas A&M, Ohio State and Arkansas once.

His top five schools will likely be where he takes his official visits. Baxter recently told 247Sports that he originally wanted to have a decision made before his senior season but feels like he won’t have one made until later in the recruiting cycle.

Former 5-star UGA football commitment set to make ‘announcement’

Five-star athlete Treyaun Webb decommitted from the University of Georgia a while ago and is now ready to make an ‘announcement’

Athlete Treyaun Webb verbally committed to the University of Georgia much earlier than most prospects do. Webb, who is a member of the class of 2023, eventually backed off his decision.

Treyaun Webb is from Jacksonville, Florida, and plays football at Trinity Christian Academy. He’s currently a rising junior in high school. He committed to UGA during the fall of his freshman year.

Webb was UGA’s first commitment in the class of 2023. He visited Georgia’s campus in June. Additionally, Webb has taken visits to Florida, Oklahoma, Ohio State, and Clemson. He plans to visit Miami later this month.

The 6-foot, 188-pound athlete may be updating his top schools or making a commitment. Treyaun Webb is a five-star athlete, who is ranked as the No. 34 recruit in his class.

We will find out when he makes his announcement.

Treyaun Webb was excited to meet Oklahoma Sooner legend Adrian Peterson during his recent visit to Norman, Oklahoma.

Have the Sooners emerged as the favorite to land a commitment from Treyaun Webb?

Treyaun Webb, a 2023 athlete, has verbally committed to the University of Georgia. Webb is from Jacksonville, Florida and plays football at Trinity Christian Academy.

Webb named UGA his leaders back in February. Today, he committed to Georgia via Twittter:

Webb is UGA’s first commitment in either the class of 2022 or 2023. Kirby Smart and company only have three commits in the class of 2021. Webb has a long way to go throughout the process and several years to develop before he’d come to Athens.

Webb is only 180 pounds and is six feet tall. He may grow some more before he plays in college. It’s another win for Georgia recruiting.
