Bowdon (Georgia) tight end Kaiden Prothro is one of the class of 2026’s top tight ends, and Florida continues to push for the Peach State product with all eyes in the recruiting world turning to the juniors.
Approaching 6 feet 7 inches and a sturdy 210 pounds that’s leaned down through high school, Prothro could be the next great pass-catching tight end in the Southeastern Conference. Florida is pitching the Kyle Pitts comparison, and Georgia is likely invoking Brock Bowers in its own pitch to Prothro.
After standing out as an underclassman during the Under Armour All-American Bowl practices, Prothro’s next trip will be to Gainesville for a second look at the Florida Gators on Jan. 11.
“(Tight ends) Coach (Russ) Callaway actually called me the other day,” Prothro said to Gators Online. “He texts me about every other day, just talking to me, seeing what I’m up to and when I’m coming back down. I think I’m going down there on the 11th for junior day, so I’ll be down there with them just building relationships.”
