University of Central Florida head football coach came out Thursday night to see one of his recruits perform as Kissimme Osceola entertained Jones High School in a Central Florida high school football game and the recruit did not disappoint.

Taevion Swift scored on a 31-yard first quarter run as his future college head coach looked on from the sideline. Later in the first half, Swift added a 1-yard TD run.

On his first scoring run, Swift burst into open space off the left side and sprint towards the left pylon. A defender hit him near the goal line, but Swift powered through the wouldbe tackler and dove into the end zone for the score.

Swift is a 4-star recruit rated as the No. 18 running back nationally in the Class of 2025 and the No. 33 player overall in Florida.
