Visit pushed back for one of Florida’s top running back targets

Four-star running back Cedric Baxter Jr. scootched his visit with the Gators back a couple of days.

Four-star running back Cedric Baxter Jr. is arguably Florida’s top target at the position along with Richard Young and Treyaun Webb this cycle. After his first visit to see the new look Gators under coach Billy Napier in January, Baxter wasted little time setting up another visit to the Swamp in March. However, he informed 247Sports Wednesday that he will push his visit back a few days to the 20th of March.

Running backs coach Jabbar Juluke and Napier have led the charge in his recruitment and made a strong impression on him during his last visit. He said his visit to Florida was his favorite so far and that the people stood out to him the most.

The Gators staff like Baxter because he is a three-down back who can get it done in the running or passing game. Juluke told him during his January visit that he likes his ability to run inside or outside the tackle.
