Four-star running back [autotag]Cedric Baxter Jr[/autotag]. is Florida’s top target regardless of position in this year’s recruiting cycle. After visiting last month with his parents, he visited the Swamp again on Saturday. This will be his third visit to the Gators in 2022. The 247Sports composite rankings have Baxter as the 46th overall prospect and the fourth-best running back.
Baxter enjoyed sitting in meetings and watching the team practice during his last visit, according to 247Sports. He noted how well running backs coach [autotag]Jabbar Juluke[/autotag] explained concepts and appreciated his teaching style. He also said Florida had the best spring practice out of all the teams he has watched.
Juluke has been the coach from Florida who has contacted him most. Baxter and he have been communicating so much on and away from campus that they have formed a tight bond. Baxter said he likes how genuine he is.
Baxter hasn’t formed an official leaderboard and doesn’t plan to. He said the schools he takes official visits to will make up his top five.
