The Florida Gators' breakout star is terrorizing defenses with 11 touchdowns and elite elusiveness.

If leading the nation in five different rushing categories doesn't speak volumes as to just how good Jadan Baugh has been, then what will?

The Florida Gators seem destined to make the College Football Playoffs, and Baugh will be a passive part of that equation.

Obviously, the season is still quite young, though there's been enough of a sample size to realize that Baugh is one of, if not the best running backs in the nation.

Florida recently had the chance to tout his success, and these five first place honors don't even include the fact that he's second in both total rushing yards and rushing yards per game.

11 rushing touchdowns leads the nation

Baugh has finished with a hattrick in not one, not two, but three games. That said, he has a hattrick for games where he's finished with a hattrick. He's that good.

Baugh's season got started with a three touchdown game against Florida Atlantic, and then he scored two against Campbell.

Keep in mind, he had 28 combined carries in those games. Baugh scored three touchdowns on 26 carries against Auburn, and then had three more in 29 carries against Ole Miss.

No one else has 11 total touchdowns

One of the most impressive feats of Baugh's is the fact that he leads the nation in total touchdowns. This is a guy with only two receptions for 18 yards, so he's truly accomplished everything on the ground with his 83 carries for 600 yards.

Baugh is first in missed tackles

Baugh has forced 34 missed tackles this season, so that comes out to an average of 8.5 missed tackles per game. This kid is simply impossible to bring down, and one could only wonder where the Gators would be if he wasn't on this roster.

Highest PFF offensive grade in the nation

Pro Football Focus has Baugh as their highest graded offensive player through the first four games of the season.

In total, he has a 92.6 rushing grade, and has an overall offensive grade of 88.6.

Baugh has scored the nation's most points

No matter the position, there isn't a player in the nation who has scored more total points than Baugh.

Obviously, his 11 touchdowns certainly help his case. Knowing he had the most rushing and total touchdowns, this accomplishment is one that stands the test of time and proves that he truly is a Heisman candidate as the calendar flips to October.
