Jones, Ajagbe shine on Saturday

Matt Jones

Sophomore running back Matt Jones had an impressive two days of practice with the doors open to the public.

GatorBait.net provides an extensive recap of the offense's performance in Saturday's practice, including impressive performances by a pair of backs in the open practice.

    • Good stuff, thanks Thomas. I am really trying to temper my WR expectations after getting too hype about them. I love that Matt Jones is doing a great job though, and it sounds as if the Defense might not have as big of a dropoff as a lot expected. Very early, but some positive signs. Morrison is a beast from all accounts, and one of my favorite players on the team. Go Gators.

      Didn't GA rush for 1200 yards his jr or sr year in highschool?

      Wish he would have showed something on D...hard to find 240 guys with his quickness, but we have to have someone after Joyner at FB. Hope we run the jumbo with extra OT and Joyer(TB)..Aja(FB).

      Did he really? Wow, I didn't even realize he was a rb in HS. Makes a little more sense that he would pick things up as fast as he seems to be, in the limited practices we've heard about.

      yeah he was one of those freaks Meyer seemed take in every cycle. He had some solid offers from UM, SC, Wisc and Aub coming out.. iirc a few schools wanted him at RB. Besides the injury bug imo the move LB/Buck was just too much of a jump for him after being a rover type in HS.

      "Gideon Ajagbe is a stellar South Florida athlete that could play on either side of the ball. A running back and linebacker in high school, Ajagbe has the quickness to be a huge threat blocking kicks as well.

      Ajagbe rushed for 1,294 yards and 12 touchdowns while amassing 96 tackles, seven sacks, 17 pass deflections" ESPN

    • No "n" in Joyer. Not trying to be a grammar nazi, but that drives me nuts.

    • Anybody find pics of him at practice? I saw the one of him kneeling down by Goldkamp. Any others? I'd like to see how he's filled out. I thought he was going to be gone sooner than later, but looks like he might have a role similar to Omarius Hines. If he excels on offense, he could play a # of positions like FB, TE, HB. And by the way, how do you pronounce Ajagbe. Just as it's spelled out? a jag bee?

      yeah I thought he would be gone by now, but you neve know with some of these kids. Murphy just won't leave then you have others that get shown the door or pack it up as soon as things don't go their way. Glad to have him around working hard..even more so with our iffy TE and no real FB after Hunter. Hope he finds a niche this season.

      Told you. Guy's huge. I saw him last in November before spring ball. He has added at least 20 pounds since then.

    • Wonder if Ajagbe gets a shot at TE. How do his hands look, TG?

      He's listed at 6'3...

      was wondering the samething but more H-back imo. Either way I think he finds a roll in this season.
