Four-star running back Kahnen Daniels of West Point (MS) High announced his commitment to Florida Monday afternoon.

The 6-foot, 190 pounder chose the Gators over Alabama, Cincinnati, and Georgia Tech.

Daniels on why he chose Florida

“First off I loved how I just felt at home while I was there. The times I visited stood out and I love what coach Napier does on offense. I feel like I will thrive in their offense.”

Relationship with coaching staff + their plan for Daniels

“The person I’m closest with is prolly Juluke,” Daniels said. “Coach Juluke says he can’t guarantee that I will play, but I can work for a starting sport. I feel like that it’s not going to be easy but it’s something I could work for.”

The Mississippi running back joins coach Napier and the Gators’ Top 5 class in the 2024 team rankings. He is accompanied by DJ Lagway, Adarius Hayes, and others.

Jackson ranks as the No. 309 player according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He also tabs in as the No. 25 running back and the No. 10 player in the state of Mississippi.

He currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $38K. The On3 NIL Valuation is the industry’s leading index that sets high school and college athletes’ projected annual value (PAV). The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.
