Jaiden Francois already had a reputation as one of South Florida’s top defensive backs for the Class of 2020, but his junior season certainly elevated his profile.
While helping South Dade to the regional finals, Francois pulled in 12 interceptions. It certainly led all players in the Miami metropolitan area and set a Buccaneers record. It probably also led all of Florida and maybe even set a Miami-Dade County single-season record, although full historic records are difficult to pin down.
This all made it unsurprising to see Francois come down with interception after interception at The Opening Miami regional Sunday at the Miami Dolphins Training Facility.
