The high school football season is starting to get underway around the country, and it is one last chance for members of the class of 2026 to showcase their talents before moving on to the big stage.
One of the key commits for the Florida Gators in their class of 2026 may be a bit under-the-radar nationally, but he showcased on Friday night why Billy Napier and company made a push to get him to commit.
Kaiden Hall breaks off a huge TD in opener
In a post he put on social media, Kaiden Hall showcased a highlight to open his 2026 campaign. Lined up as a wildcat QB, Hall broke off an 84-yard run where he was essentially able to job the final 30 yards and still not have anyone within 10 yards of him.

Hall is a two-way athlete who projects to play in the secondary once he arrives in Gainesville, but this TD does highlight what we said of Hall back in May and the explosivness his posses:
"On film, what stands out for Hall is his ability and willingness to explode downhill to make a play. He doesn't hesitate and he doesn't wait for someone else to make the play. Once he identifies the ball carrier and the correct gap, he makes his move.
He does have pass coverage abilities, and he does, at times, bait the opposing QB into throws that he is able to make a play on."
Hall is from Milton, FL, and is listed at 6'3" and 195 pounds. Both Rivals and ESPN have Hall right around 200th in their overall rankings.
Alabama has the most interest in Hall, and he did take a couple of unofficial visits to Tuscaloosa in the spring, but Florida was the only official visit he took this summer before committing to the Gators on June 3rd.
As of now, Hall joins CJ Bronaugh and CJ Hester as committed members of the class of 2026 in the secondary for the Gators.
