Fall Camp has concluded for the Florida Gators. We take a look at how the running back position will shake out headed into opening week against Miami.
: Montrell Johnson Jr. OR Treyaun Webb: Cam Carroll, Anthony Rubio*There’s no question that once he’s healthy, Montrell Johnson Jr. is the clear-cut starter at running back for the Gators.rushed for at least 800 yards and five touchdownsHowever, Johnson Jr.’s starting spot for the season-opener could be in jeopardy due to a knee injury that required a minor procedure.
His experience, albeit brief, to go with his ability to protect the quarterback on passing plays is a major standout in comparison to the rest of the room. He wasn’t expected to play a major role in the rotation, especially with Webb, a former blue-chip recruit, returning and two more blue-chip freshmen joining the team. However, back-to-back strong scrimmages along with consistency in practice has led to him being a major contender for snaps.
Meanwhile, Daniels, a top-10 running back in his class, rushed for over 2,700 yards and 29 touchdowns, which helped West Point to a MHSAA 5A state title. As a result, he was named the MHSAA 5A Mr. Football and Mississippi Gatorade Football Player of the Year. That being said, there’s still some lessons to be learned by Jackson, Baugh and Daniels, especially when it comes to playing without the ball, Napier explained. Mainly, recognizing and then picking up blitzes was something Napier mentioned.
