has he decided where he's gonna attend college yet? From what I'm hearing from some family members. The main focus is on the right T&F offer over football right now . Still holding offers and taking visits. The announcement is coming soon . I do know that Florida wants him for Track . if track is his emphasis, coach johnson should be recruiting him "hard". especially if he wants to play both sports cuz i'm not so sure that he's a prime candidate to play bcs football, but he'd definitely fit in at the fcs level...

Florida is willing to let him do both . They projecting him as a receiver or Free Safety in football. Track will take care of itself. The football coaches at UF have no problem with there skill position athletes running track ,especially the RB,Receivers and DB's . Even if he go's FCS . If I'm recruiting him playing RB wouldn't even be in the conversation but Slot or wide out on offense and FS would most definitely be in the conversation. With his speed and if he has hands ,as a receiver out in space or from the Slot he would be a dangerous weapon not only for the deep ball but pitch and catch routes..i.e Jerry Rice/Randy Moses. In defense horizontal and vertical range ( if he can hit that is ) . Also Jailen is still growing 6'5 or 6'6" could be his growth adult height . I think Coach Johnson is already in his ear T&F wise and we know Coach Brown has offered but for me Track will be his money sport in college.

I mean happy we got him but do we really need another RB. I guess he will be our RB of the future if you redshirt him.

With his height and speed I highly doubt he will be RB at the collegiate level.

I guess he will be our RB of the future if you redshirt him. we already have a rb of the future (blizzard) who may even be able to contribute "immediately". but i would like to have a "stud" rb who is ready "immediately". right now, i think graves will be our starting rb unless someone beats him out...

Yes, it’s in the recruiting thread…but I think, down-the-road, this will prove to be the best news that we’ve gotten in awhile. #AggiePride
