Chad Gasper Jr. brings compact, multi-purpose upside to Florida’s backfield
Florida freshman RB Chad Gasper Jr. arrives with proven production and a skill set that fits modern offenses: as a high school senior in 2023, he posted 1,566 rushing yards, 23 rushing touchdowns, and 40 catches for 459 yards, while earning consensus three-star status and interest from major programs. His differentiators are burst, acceleration, and receiving value out of the backfield, with Florida listing him at 5-10.5, 206 pounds and EA’s 2026 ratings showing 88 speed and 91 acceleration. He redshirted in 2025, so the appeal is long-term, versatile depth rather than immediate star power.[4][8][6]
