Episode Details

Florida Gators finally unlock Amir Jackson’s potential at tight end. Will new offensive coordinator Buster Faulkner’s creative approach make Jackson a breakout star in Gainesville?

Brandon Olsen analyzes how Amir Jackson, a 6'5", 235-pound flex tight end, fits into Florida’s evolving offensive scheme after two underwhelming seasons and limited touches. The discussion spotlights Jackson’s versatility, potential mismatches against safeties and linebackers, and the benefits of utilizing 12 personnel with playmakers like Luke Harpring and Amir Jackson. With insights into Billy Napier’s past shortcomings and the new staff’s plans to leverage Jackson’s unique skill set, this episode explores whether Jackson will finally become a key weapon for the Gators. Can Florida’s offense take the next step in the SEC with a revitalized tight end group under Faulkner? The table is set for Amir Jackson to shine in 2026.
