Good news for Gator fans… running back Jeff Demps, who rushed for 531 yards and 3 touchdowns in 2010, will be playing football for Florida this season. There was some uncertainty as to Demps football future because he was thought to have been considering turning in his football pads in order to concentrate on running track and making the 2012 Olympic squad.

But all the speculation has been put to rest by Demps himself who released the following statement.

Read what Demps had to say below…

Will running back Jeff Demps be suiting up for the Florida Gator football program this fall… that is the question. Currently Demps is in Italy competing with the US National Track & Field team. And in case you didn’t know… in addition to being a football player, Demps is one of the fastest men in the world and can run a 9.96 second 100 meter dash (Usain Bolt currently holds the world record at 9.58 seconds).

So as you see, Demps has a dilema… play football this year or quit and focus on trying to qualify for the 2012 Olympics, which is a goal of his. And no offense to Gator fans, but I thinking he’ll eventually end up quitting.

Different year same story. On Saturday both Oregon’s women’s team and Florida men’s team won their second consecutive NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championship. And while a lot of stuff happened during the meet, the biggest story was Florida football player Jeff Demps winning his second 60 meter dash championship in a record 6.53 seconds.

And I’m just like…if Demps is running the 60 meter in 6.5 seconds, just how fast can he run the 40 yard dash in? Whatever it is I’m betting it’ll be faster than the 4.24 the Titans Chris Johnson ran at the combine back in ’08. And luckily for us since Demps is a senior to be we’ll get to find if he can break Johnson’s record at next years combine. But back to this years championships….we’ve got releases from both schools below.

Now Florida is known for having a fast football, but these two are fast by even their standards. I’m talking about Florida RB’s…I mean track stars Chris Rainey and Jeff Demps. These two are so fast they make it look like your watching their highlights in fast forward. They have what we like to call holyshit speed.

Forget being the fastest man in college football, Florida’s Jeff Demps is beyond that. He is now the fastest man in all of college sports after winning the 100 meter championship this weekend with a time of 9.96 seconds, easily beating runner-up Rondell Sorrillo (10.09) of Kentucky.

Also taking home a title from the Gator football was their other RB Chris Rainy who was on the 4 x 100 meter relay team with Demps, that won first place with a time of 38.93. Video embedded below…Rainy is the one running the second leg, Demps is the anchor.

We all know about Jeff Demps…Florida’s star running back who had 745 yards rushing and 7 TD’s last season who also who ran a 10.06 second 100 meters this year on the track team, which is the third fasted time in the country this year. Well he’ll be competing in the track & field championships come June 9th, but he won’t be the only football player.

On Florida’s 4×100 meter relay team, who qualified for the championships with the fastest time in the prelims, along with Demps is teammate and fellow Gator RB Chris Rainy. And they’ll be going up against a Miami team that’s made up of four football players: CB’s Brandon McGee, DeMarcus Van Dyke and Cory Nelms and WR Travis Benjamin.

The NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Regionals startup this Thursday and I am happy to announce that Allison Stokke made the cut…barley. The top 48 athletes in each of the events were invited to one of two preliminary round sites on the West and East coast to see who will be going to national meet at Oregon’s Hayward Field June 9-12.

Stokke who had the 35th best vault this year made it into the prelims by inches and will be competing in the West Regional May 27-29 at UT in Austin. Headlining the East Regional being held at NC A&T in Greensboro is Jeff Demps of #1 ranked mens track team Florida…who has the 3rd fasted 100m time in the NCAA this year at 10.06.
