In this episode of Gators Breakdown, David Waters details the commitment of EDGE Jayden Woods. The four-star recruit from Shawnee, Kansas, who stands at 6-foot-3 and 240 pounds, flips from Penn State, where he had been committed since June. Woods ranks as the 130th overall player in the country and the 10th ranked EDGE on the 247 Sports Composite. The On3 Industry Rankings place him slightly higher at 116th overall and 14th edge player in the country. Florida plans to use him in the JACK linebacker position. Following his visit to Florida during the Ole Miss game last weekend, he committed a week later. His impressive offer list includes Michigan, Alabama, Oregon, LSU, Miami, Notre Dame, Tennessee, Stanford, Ole Miss, Texas A&M, Washington, Arkansas, and Mississippi State.
This past season, Woods accumulated 90 total tackles in 11 games, including five tackles for loss. He also recorded five-and-a-half sacks, six QB hurries, one interception, and two forced fumbles. In 2023, as a junior, he tallied 71 tackles, 10 tackles for loss, 7 sacks, 2 forced fumbles, and 8 pass deflections. He helped Mill Valley finish 11-2 and secure their fifth consecutive Kansas 5A state title. In 2022, he contributed to Mill Valley's 12-1 record and Kansas 5A state championship with 51 tackles, 10.5 tackles for loss, 6 sacks, 3 forced fumbles, 2 fumble recoveries, and 12 QB hurries.
This latest flip gives the Gators their 20th commit and elevates Florida to 15th in the 247 Sports Composite Rankings. The class now consists of one five-star, ten four-star, and nine three-star recruits. Woods ranks as the third-highest recruit in the class, behind only Vernell Brown III and Ben Hanks Jr.
