Jabbar Juluke has followed head coach Billy Napier from Louisiana and joined the Gators’ staff. He coached running backs for Napier from 2018-21, though his role at Florida is still to be announced.
Juluke looks like a potential home run hire. His running backs at Louisiana produced at an extremely high level and entered their names in the school’s record book.
In both 2018 and 2019, they had three running backs selected to all-conference teams, which is extremely difficult to do given the limited number of carries there are to go around.
The 2019 team broke the program records for rushing yards and rushing touchdowns in a season and ranked sixth in the FBS in yards per game.
