The East Carolina commit was one of the best running backs last season. He ran for over 1,300 yards and scored 14 touchdowns. He transferred to Niceville and is playing in a loaded backfield with [player_tooltip player_id='275812' first='Connor' last='Mathews']. Love is a smooth runner who glides over the field, has top-notch vision, and does an outstanding job weaving through traffic and finding the open lane.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Film: </em></strong><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/15784495/Eddie-Love-JR">https://www.hudl.com/profile/15784495/Eddie-Love-JR</a></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Dorrion White, RB- Escambia High c/o 25</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>6'0 205lbs</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>White had a solid season in 2023, he is a versatile back that was outstanding last fall rushing for 1,233 yards and scored 17 touchdowns. White was also a weapon out of the backfield with 8 catches for 120 yards and a receiving touchdown. White shows good feet in the hole and has a feel for identifying cut back lanes and the speed to break off long runs</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Film: </em></strong><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/19372999/Dorrion-White">https://www.hudl.com/profile/19372999/Dorrion-White</a></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Jocarian Garrett- Cottondale High c/o 25</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>5'10 166lbs&nbsp;</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Garrett rushed for 1,769 yards and scored 16 touchdowns last season. Garrett has been one of the state's best running backs over the last two seasons. He averaged over 9 yards per carry with 11 100-yard rushing games. Garrett will look to make it three consecutive 1,000-yard seasons in 2024! He has the natural ability to play multiple positions at a high level. He sticks his foot in the ground and shows good burst and acceleration and outstanding vision to pick his way through traffic.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Film: </em></strong><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/16572228/Jocarian-Garrett">https://www.hudl.com/profile/16572228/Jocarian-Garrett</a></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='283730' first='Deshon' last='Jenkins'] Jr.- Bishop Verot High c/o 26</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>5'10 204lbs</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Jenkins had a sensational last season for Bishop Verot.

Jenkins' stock is on the rise, and he will be one of the most highly touted running back prospects in Florida this fall.
