The Florida Gators made an addition to the running back room on Thursday evening, revealing the transfer of JaKobi Jackson, a former standout running back from Coahoma Community College. This move not only adds depth to the Gators' roster but also leaves them with two scholarship openings for the 2023 season.

Head Coach Billy Napier has confirmed his plan to showcase his Florida Gators in black uniforms this football season, a salute to the military. During his initial spring speaking tour last year in May, he first introduced this idea.

“If you’re into rankings, to have a top 10 class in the first year, just really proud of our staff and all the hard work that went into that,” said Billy Napier.

Think of Wednesday as the final day of Phase II of the Florida rebuild by Billy Napier. Phase I was what happened last year when Napier signed a small class that was actually rather impressive when you consider he was working on short notice after taking over the UF program in early December. That group was enhanced by a handful of transfers including consensus All-American O’Cyrus Torrence, who has about a 90 percent chance to be taken in the first round of the NFL Draft in April. Phase III begins today as Napier, his coaching staff and army of analysts start focusing on adding another 5-10 high school kids who will sign in February and perhaps another 15-18 transfers.

George comes in as an immediate impact player with two years left of eligibility. At 6-foot-6, 333-pounds, George appeared in only the first two games this season for the Crimson Tide.

A few thoughts to jump start your Wednesday morning:

Over the course of the past few weeks, the month of June has become increasingly important to the Gators football program. Billy Napier and the rest of the staff are set to welcome 35 recruits and counting in June, marking the beginning of what we hope will be the "June Bloom."
