Florida's Chris Foster on Jaden Baugh, running back room during spring

Florida football held its penultimate practice of the spring season on Thursday as it prepares for the Orange and Blue Game on Saturday. Following the workouts, running backs coach Chris Foster, who is in his first year with the Gators after spending the 2025 campaign as the Duke Blue Devils' running backs coach, spoke with the media about how his position room is panning out early on. Running backs Jaden Baugh and Duke Clark took up much of the conversation, as well as transfer portal acquisition Evan Pryor and redshirt freshman Byron Louis.

The discussion took some deep dives into the team's offensive approaches over the course of the 10-minute talk. Below is a look at what Foster said on Thursday. Jaden's not getting a ton of work because you guys kind of know what you have in him.

What gives you a sense of comfort in his skill set? "Well, you know, he's going to play two years, you know, in this league, and you know, he knows what this league about, but one thing about Jaden, Jaden wants more, when he tells me, 'Coach, I can go some more. ' But I said, 'Jade, I got to see what these other guys can do.

' "I got to have it; to me, developing the other guys is so important right now, who's gonna be behind them, you know? And so because we know this league is a long season, so we got to make sure we has some guys that we can rotate in. "But, you know, he has that football instincts that you see every day at practice that make him special and different, and you say, 'Okay, yeah, he's got it,' so it don't take much to see.
